The Island's True Child

The Island's True Child by Simpson, Dorothy. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780892726189.

Fortunately for us, Dot Simpson vividly remembered her early island life and wrote about it with moving simplicity. Her memoir is brightened with dry humor, and it tells of a time long lost but infused with values we still cherish, such as love of home and family. Even though it is a story tinged with considerable sadness, we cant help but wish we could have spent at least a few of our own growing-up years alongside Dot, as an island child.
