Noel, Don.

Near a far sea : a Jamaican odyssey / Don Noel. - Bloomington, Ind. : AuthorHouse, 2006. - 224 pages ; 23 cm

In 1966, Don Noel and his wife discovered, on Jamaica's South Coast, an unspoiled, out-of-the-way village. They built a beachfront house, embellishing it over the years with a tennis court, a swimming pool and other improvements--and fending off roaming goats to establish lush plantings of tropical flowers and trees. They got to know their neighbors, and found ways to be helpful. Near a Far Sea is the often-comic story of coping with a Third World bureaucracy and an unsophisticated labor force to make it all happen.
