Four years later, however, she's still not pregnant. Her fertility doctor advises her to relax--an undertaking that is easier said than done in one of the noisiest, most crowded cities in the world. Nevertheless, Diana tries. She takes up yoga and meditation. She buys goldfish. Then one day, while Jay is away on business, a violent coup d'etat erupts. The rebels bomb the presidential palace and occupy parts of the city. Clearly, Diana decides, something needs to change. Determined to have a baby while she's still young enough, she convinces Jay to transfer to the small South Pacific nation of Vanuatu, said to be "the most relaxing place on earth." It isn't long before she realizes that the island's tropical beauty hides dangers and disappointments that will test her courage, her marriage, and her ability to open herself up to new possibilities. 651 0 $a Manila (Philippines) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Vanuatu $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fertility $v Fiction. 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030218.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20211130010929.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210702012306.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210701010310.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A3C68B70DA3111EB950CCE9F56ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
