Van Arsdale, Sallie - About Pluck and Fortitude, December 12, 1990

Paper description

This title describes precisely the qualities required by the main characters: a young couple whose life plan is to develop a unique resort on a remote and uninhabited island. The first problem is to find such an island, something they accomplish rather easily off the coast of Panama. Nothing in the next 25 years of hardship, success, happiness, drama, and loss is that easy. A witty and perceptive account of a true story that was well worth telling.
