In Tracy Novinger's (A&S'62) third book, Betrayal on Aruba Winds, Alissia Aruba Saxton has the life she鈥檚 relentlessly pursued. She鈥檚 got a high-level job. She鈥檚 engaged to be married. Everything is unfolding according to the careful, responsible plan by which she has always lived.
Beneath the surface of Alissia鈥檚 apparently perfect life lies deep and abiding guilt sparked by events from her childhood. During the dangerous days of World War II, Aruba had seemed like a peaceful paradise, but when German intelligence focused on the tiny island鈥檚 little-known role in helping Allied forces, Aruba was destined to be drawn into the conflict. The war left a disturbing legacy in Aruba, which led to the later death that still tugs at Alissia鈥檚 conscience.
A captivating tale of one person鈥檚 journey to face childhood ghosts, Betrayal on Aruba Winds transports readers to a time before Aruba became a modern-day tourist destination. Readers will not forget that it is one鈥檚 perception that becomes one鈥檚 reality and that WWII reached Aruba.
