Life on a barrier island is not always easy as is depicted in this my sixth novel called "January's Storm". The main character is John Steele, although a wealthy business man, lives in a small cabin on the island and is part of the newly formed life-saving service. The time period is 1890 and the service is a precursor to what we now call the Coast Guard. I believe you will find this novel a good read and you will want to turn the next page and the next.
