Belize

This is the story of the journey that led Deloris and Alan Stamm to the village of Placencia, Belize, Central America. It shows how they were compelled to buy a hotel that neither of them wanted or needed. This story is yet but one example of how tropical fever entangles the human soul and encourages a person to embrace a fantasy in which they'd never imagine possible. The tropical air is intoxicating, the aqua-blue seas of the Caribbean are like no other on earth, and the people of Placencia helped to set the plan in motion for the couple to unwittingly become a part of the community that they so dearly love now.

In the story, you'll witness the hardships, as well as the giggles that the savvy American couple went shared as they took on the project and began the journey to Paradise. This is the first of three books, and you'll begin to see the evolution of Paradise as well as the changes in Deloris and Alan as the books progress.
