Rain and Suffering: The Real Gulf Islands Guide

Many people work hard to perpetuate the myth of a virtual Eden off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. Not us. Rain and Suffering is a whimsical, funny look at the Gulf Islands, dispelling many of the illusions made popular by an overzealous travel industry. You'll find unhelpful tips for tourists, questionable insights into island locals, and more than a few dubious observations on life on the Gulf Islands. Written by Steven Grayson, an unsuccessful sheep and organic produce farmer locked away on one of those very islands, this is a "tourist guide" for the uninitiated. Rain and Suffering dispels all those silly "paradise" rumours about the Gulf Islands, as well as providing helpful tips such as how to avoid being eaten by a cougar.
