Produktinformationen zu „Asdahlia-Child of the Sea (ePub)“
This is a story about Charlie, a young American teacher who went to the Philippines in the beginning of the 1900s armed with his love of teaching, inspired by his own thirst for adventure, and emboldened by Americas victory over its wars against Spain.
What he found was far greater than he had wished for. His adventure leads him to a quick rise in his career, but he must persevere against overwhelming odds. His soaring career finally brings him face-to-face with the horrors of death in the hands of suicide warriors.
Destiny shoves him into an encounter with Asdahlia, a pirates daughter who saves him and brings him to her world full of magic, which adds a dimension to Charlies adventure that is too taboo that he fears it might cost him his career and lose the respect of other pioneers. Charlies sense of duty to serve his countrys interest in that part of the world stands in the way between them.
Asdahlia has to make a quick decision. If she takes the chance and follow Charlie, then she might live her ultimate dream: a life away from Skeleton Isle.

Autoren-Porträt von Nancy B. Stanton
Nancy B. Stanton is an avid fan of history, both written and oral accounts dating back to the pre-Spanish era Philippines. She was born in the Philippines during post-American occupation and was raised among the native Bagobo tribe. She was involved with the Southern Philippines Cultural Communities based in Toril, Davao City. She also actively engaged in other civic activities to empower women. She speaks the native dialects Bagobo, Dabawnon, and Visayan and takes great pride in the legacy of her grandfather, the first American superintendent of schools in Davao, Philippines, 1909, and a short stint as justice of peace of Jolo, Sulu, in 1912.Nancy, together with her family migrated to the United States in 1995. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. While trying to beat the disease and the depression brought about by the treatment, she decided to embark on fiction writing. She chose fiction due to the limitless range of ideas and imagination one could put in a story form.
Nancy is now cancer-free and lovingly dedicates this book to her children, who saw her ordeal during the treatment. They dealt with this traumatic experience bravely and in silence amid fear of losing their mother.
