MIAMI, Dec. 2, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A fascinating tapestry of captivating poetry and wonderfully illustrated images awaits readers as author Melissa Irene Eights spellbinds them with her rich art journal collection, Saint Martin Is My Home.
Saint Martin is a thirty-seven square mile island in the West Indies. It is divided into two sides. The two sides are the Dutch side, which is sixteen square miles, and the French side, which is twenty-one square miles.
