In this story of undying hope, a little boy determines to endure his circumstances, and accepting is fate, learns the value of compassion, wisdom, and humility. He chooses to have faith in God, while accepting the ambuguity and ultimate mystery of life and existence. Sadness at times and loss may be inexcapable in life, but the benefit at any age is priceless strength and endurance.

In sunny Nassau, Philip Saunders is heartbroken when Katherine Caldwell, the love of his life, is forbidden to see him again because his family was too poor. In hopes of winning her back, he becomes obsessed with getting rich enough to earn her father's approval. Caught skinny-dipping by Harry Oakes, one of the world's richest men, Philip is given the nickname "the Naked Waiter," and is offered the job of Maitre d' at the grandest hotel in the Bahamas. About a hundred miles to the north, Addington Pinder is born to an unwed mother in an impoverished isolated settlement on Grand Bahama Island. The unwanted baby is reluctantly raised by his indifferent grandparents. Through the eyes of these two very different men, we see the development of Grand Bahama Island and Paradise Island. We also learn about how the savage murder of the most prominent expatriate in the colony is linked to gambling coming to the Bahamas, and how the Duke and Duchess of Windsor are connected.

"Heaven on Account of Kazakhstan: Nurse Julie" presents a . . . clear and exciting "Vision of Heaven." When we trust Christ, we are identified with Him so that what happened to Him happens to us. Thru Baptism (ridicule comes) our faith is expressed. That unbeliever dies . . . Follows the Old Testament unbelievers to that Side-of-Hades." None-the-less, an inward 180-degree change happened, expressed outwardly (buried with Him; certainly instantly resurrected like He was). We too rise like Him; and instantly-so at that split-second of death; and we, in our earthly body, never dies again. Death has no-more dominion over us (Colossians 2: 12; Galatians 3: 26). Now here's a piece of good-news that goes to the core of our being. It shakes you and me; and everything in you and me comes alive in reality, touching our existence. The power of death is broken, and the root of bondage. There's no fear of death, happy! (John 3: 16-22). It's true . . . It will change everything in your life and shatter things in you more deeply than whenever you have ever been touched. This is the first piece of news that's scripturally proven true; there's good evidence for it and it's been proven. "I sent my 'Soul' through the Invisible, some letter of the 'After-life' . . . to spell. And by and by my Soul return'd to me and answer'd: I, 'Myself' am Heav'n and Hel; Heav'n, but fulfill'd desire and also shadow Hel . . . the Shadow of a "Loveless Soul" on fire, was cast on the darkness from whence I so late emerged, to shall so soon expire. We're really nothing, magic shadow-shapes, that come and go . . . round the Sun's illumined Lantern held by He, who is the 'Master of the Show, ' who beckons to one and all: 'Choose Life, choose Love, choose Me to Know.' But helpless 'Pieces of the Game' He plays, upon a 'Checker-board' of night and days; hither and thither He moves, and checks, and slays . . . And one by one, back in the Closet lays" (Paraphrased)." A Child's Adventure: Tragedy to Triumph," William David, 2013
