Hank Wyatt has spent years in a foreign prison for murder. But Hank is actually innocent. He had a mockery of a trial before being sentenced to life. He manages to escape and stow away on a ship where he meets a beautiful woman.
Margaret Huntington Smith is a hard working attorney. Her supreme court judge father insists she take a vacation and sends her off on a island cruise in the South Seas.
The cruise is doomed though and a fatal shipwreck leaves Hank and Maggie alone on an island with three orphans, Lydia (9), Theodore (5), Annabelle (less than 2), and a goat. Hank and Maggie struggle to survive, care for the children, and just plain get along. Being stuck on the island forms a family that never would have come together otherwise. While on the island they actually find a real live Genie named Muddy just to keep things interesting.
A beautiful tropical island location, wonderful characters, humor, romance, family, and good plot made this a great read.
