The Unrecovered Country ∼ A Memoir
On September 6th, 2017 the U.S. Virgin Islands were hit by Category 5 Hurricane Irma, the most powerful Atlantic hurricane in recorded history. Twelve days later we were hit by Category 5 Hurricane Maria, making the U.S. Virgin Islands the only place in the United States to be hit by two Category 5 hurricanes in a two-week period.

This memoir is a first hand account of the environmental alterations we personally experienced, witnessed and were party to during the first four months after Category 5 Hurricanes Irma and Maria passed over our home on the island of St. Thomas.

The Category 5 Cookbook
This book is more than the author's personal experiences on St Thomas during and after two Category 5 hurricanes. It offers tips and more than 70 recipes to get you through the aftermath of a disaster with grace and humor.

These recipes can be used by folks who camp, vacationers renting condos and anyone who wants to be able to "create something from nothing" using pantry staples and a few fresh ingredients.
