Story
At age 40, Parker surrendered to her Swept Away meets Swiss Family Robinson fantasy of owning an inn in Latin America, far from her home in the Pacific Northwest. For the next 20-plus years Parker ran La Finca Caribe, an eco-lodge in Vieques, Puerto Rico. What started as a “half-baked duct-taped dream” grew into an acclaimed, rustic inn, frequented by guests from around the world. Sketchbook in hand, Parker chronicled her daily adventures in getting to know the land, culture and herself.

A rich and compelling story

Corky Parker is a terrific storyteller - both writer and narrator. This life story revolves around a unique and romantic property/home/ecolodge on a tiny island in the Caribbean. The story pulls you in right away and you feel you are part of the action. Not only is it a great story but Parker’s style makes you reflect on your own life, dreams, and losses. I came away feeling better about myself - a literary coup! Highly recommended!
