Chita's parents die in the hurricane, and she is left alone to survive on the island. She is rescued by a group of survivors who are trying to make their way to safety. Chita's journey with these survivors is fraught with danger, as they must navigate treacherous waters and avoid dangerous creatures. Along the way, Chita learns about love, loss, and the power of the human spirit. The novel is a haunting and lyrical exploration of the human condition, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
