Falling Off the Wind

Clement Scheutz, his schooner smashed on the rocks of Puerto Rico by a hurricane, is accused of killing a local islander. The woman he loves has deserted him and he is without money. While putting the boat back together, he helps rebuild a local restaurant and finds new love with the owner. "Few authors can combine both compelling characters and gripping plot. Meibers does so here - his richly-drawn Clem character is both introspective and swashbuckling, both poet and pirate." -David Brody "A modern version of a Joseph Conrad adventure. Meibers has created an engaging tale of life on a Caribbean island where his challenges reflect our own." -Dwight Harshbarger
