From Foley's Folly to Fantasia's Island Doris Hale Sanders

When a wedding shower turns into a kidnapping, the intent is human trafficking. However, Foley's Folly, the ship on which they are being held is battered by a terrible storm that washes the captain and almost all of the crew overboard. The ten women who were guests at the wedding shower find themselves marooned on an island somewhere in the Atlantic along with the ship's first mate. Their hardships on the island include wild animal scares, lack of food, clothing, shelter and the generally-accepted "necessities of life." They learn that people can manage to be content with a lot less than they think. One of them, however, can't take the strain and commits suicide while one of those frantically searching for them has a nervous breakdown. This is a story of love, dependence, independence, and inter-dependence; learning to work together for the benefit of all and never giving up on hope.
