Product Description
by Jennifer G. Bailey (Author)
A book for dreamers and doers, this dreamer nurtured a lifelong vision to spend the last chapters of her life in her father's birthplace, Tobago. She spent 50 years benchmarking Tobago against places of interest on five continents. Re-live her adventures in 1984, flying and camping through the Australian Outback with new-found friends, on a Cessna 172 Skyhawk, her visits to Indigenous communities and sites in Australia to purchase Indigenous art called Dreamings. An art collector and opera lover, you will vicariously experience Egypt's architectural wonders, the works of renowned Renaissance artists at the Louvre in Paris, Sistine Chapel in Rome and her enthralling connection with Michelangelo's David, in Florence. Taking courageous treks across the dirt roads of Liberia and Sierra Leone she introduces Internet-delivered education. Finally, and by chance, she comes across land in Tobago that has been in the Bailey family for 100 years. She buys it, and at age 65, breaks ground and converts this tropical forest in Tobago, into a nature park called Eden's Door, thereby fulfilling her lifelong dream.
