Harris Cain thought law school would give him freedom to chart his own course in life. Instead, embarking on a career in Washington, D.C., he felt shackled to chance.

Seeking authenticity and adventure, Harris and his wife, Willow, leave their comfortable jobs to live in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Embarking on the expat adventure, they lived, traveled, and practiced law in the Caribbean.

The Cains experienced the richness of travel, freedom, and fate set against the kaleidoscope of Caribbean life and culture. They met others-Virgin Islanders and expatriates alike- some riveted to the art of living, others fleeing from the long shadows of their pasts.
