The Chances We Take by Annell St Charles

The Chances We Take by Annell St Charles

Through most of her life, Georgia Ayres has struggled with a tendency to be overly cautious and hesitant to delve into things with which she was unfamiliar. When her best friend Julie invites her to come along on a vacation trip to Hilton Head Island, in the company of Julie's husband Harry and Georgia's boyfriend Jon, Georgia surprises herself by not only agreeing, but embarking on a journey that leads her into a world where the dead and alive coexist.

Shortly after arriving on Hilton Head, Georgia becomes aware of the rich history of the Gullah - former West Africans who were brought to the island as slaves. She discovers that many of the descendants of this culture still reside on Hilton Head. One day, as she is exploring one of the Gullah graveyards on the island, she encounters the ghost of Bessie Campbell. Miss Bessie entrusts Georgia with the story of her grandfather's untimely death and enlists her help in unraveling the mystery surrounding it. As she embarks on this exploration, she develops a special friendship with two other Gullah descendants, Henry and his wife Mary, whose love and support help her find the strength to delve into a world that is as foreign to her has their unique language.

St Charles, Annell: - Following a long career in the medical profession, Annell St. Charles turned her attention to writing fiction and producing photography. Her first two novels, The Things Left Unsaid and The Choices We Make, were published in 2016. She also has two books of photography, Sunrise On Hilton Head Island: Coligny Beach and Island Life, and a book of poetry, The Clam Shell, also published in 2016. She has been a member of the self-proclaimed Greater Nashville Book and Wine Club for around 20 years, (who she describes as her toughest critics and greatest friends), and holds a certificate in digital photography from the Shaw Institute. She is an avid walker and can usually be found roaming the streets and beaches around her homes in Nashville, Tennessee and Hilton Head Island with her camera slung over one shoulder while she ponders her next work of fiction. She is married to Constantine Tsinakis, and borrows her friends Ebie-like cats every chance she gets.
