Lonely in Paradise

“Reed is masterful at description and insight and invites us into a world that is unpredictable. This is a real look into the parallel lives of a country and a woman finding themselves. It is about you. It is about me. This book presents us with a question: what does it mean to be in transition as a person, as a community, and as a country?Paradise presents us with a challenge: will we allow the process of transition or will we fight against it? I found myself drawn into the story of Heather, a women who hopes to make a difference in the world, regardless of colour or race. This book holds suspense, insight, struggle, growth, disappointment, loss, and love. Paradise pushes you to rethink “paradise.” A must read.”

“I was impressed... I felt like I could really see the island, and hear the voices and sounds surrounding Heather and her son. I think this book would be relatable for a lot of women, in terms of the personal journey, about learning to move outside of your comfort zone, and be comfortable there too. Well done, an excellent read!”

“…Lonely in Paradise is the story about finding yourself and coming to terms with your past so you can finally have a present. Have some tissues handy. Ms Reed got my attention. She made me want to find the strength to become my own hero.”
