Fortune Island by E.M. Schorb
Fortune Island by international award-winning author E.M. Schorb is a tale of hope, tragedy, and revival set in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
From Jessie Judas’s birth during World War II U-boat raids to her fame at the dawn of the new Millennium, she endures an isolating life, a life of changes, like the shifting shores of Fortune Island.
Growing up practically orphaned, with little education, Jessie meets a visiting folklorist. The woman becomes Jessie’s protector and mentor while Jessie’s eccentric traveling-evangelist stepfather sinks into possible psychopathy. Her biological father returns to the island to ensure her well-being, but hesitates to reveal himself.
A storm of passion and deception threatens to destroy Jessie’s fragile sense of self and trust.
