Afia Press Releases New fiction book… Tropical Escapes Hits Book Shelves Heralding the Coming of Summer
International consultant, trainer, and CaribVoiceRadio host Dr. Anita Davis-DeFoe has penned a new novel called Tropical Escapes that has already started a buzz, The gender and youth development expert, and social entrepreneur, is best known for her transformational motivational book, A Woman’s Guide to Soulful Living: Seven Keys to Life and Work Success; as well as a rites of passage curriculum for girls, titled Soulful One: For Girls As They Journey to Womanhood.
A freelance writer for publications like Caribbean Voice Newspaper, Sisterhood Agenda (New Jersey); Caribbean Life (Trinidad), Mahogany Butterfly (New Jersey) and She Caribbean (St. Lucia), Davis-DeFoe takes the reader on an exhilarating ride laced with romance, politics and intrigue.

What happens when new beginnings, the promise of love, backroom politics, gripping intrigue and calculated deception mingle under a sweltering sun, certainly a recipe for a Tropical Escape.
