Aruba I Am Your Island
An Intimate Look At Aruban Scenes
Aruba is a story of how a small and barren piece of land in the Caribbean has transformed herself into a magnet for humanity unlike any other. She will continue to say to all who will listen, 'Come to me and bask on my shores. As small as I am, there is still room for one more plate at my table.' Charles' work is satirical, captivating, intimate, fun to read. He views his works as 'taking notes on the incidents of life he sees.' I Am Your Island is a collection of intimate short stories inspired by the photography of Werner J. Bertsch. Austrian-born photographer Werner J. Bertsch, enjoys capturing nature's intense colors and light. After visiting the island of Aruba for the first time in 1984, he became fascinated with the contrast of its landscape, the diversity of its culture and the friendliness of its people. All have become some of his favorite photographic subjects, and are captured within the pages of I Am Your Island.
