The Sand Pig and the Slippery-headed Fish: How One Woman's Vacation Romance Became Her Affair To Remember - Pamela Moreside - Bog

When an almost forty-year-old Canadian on vacation meets a gorgeous young Jamaican on the beach things quickly heat up, despite their age difference . . .Their sexy two-week romance-lazy days cavorting in turquoise seas under the blazing sun and sultry nights dancing to reggae music-sounds like every woman's dream. But, within weeks of returning to build a life with him, she finds herself living in the remote countryside in a 12 x 12 cabin without running water, electricity, or indoor plumbing. Add in family and neighbours who despise her on sight, a brush with police, a reappearing ex-girlfriend, a court case and a possible paternity suit-all happening in a language she doesn't understand-and the dream quickly turns into a nightmare.Alternately hilarious and heart-wrenching, The Sand Pig and The Slippery-headed Fish takes you on a journey that travels beyond the fancy all-inclusive vacations and into the reality of life in a developing country, while exploring the challenges of a cross cultural, long distance relationship, and questions the notion that love can conquer all.
