Book excerpt: When a troupe of actors from Chicago is hit by a class seven hurricane on a small island off Antigua, they are stranded without any means of transportation or communication. This was in the pre-hi-tech olden days of the seventies before cell phones, iPods or laptops for that matter. As a result, they are forced into unprecedented cooperation and intimacies with surprising, sometimes touching, but always hilarious arrangements and rearrangements. Names have been changed to protect both the innocent and not-so-innocent.
