Soon come in Jamaica means, dont worry, be happy, and was the title of the newsletter Beth and Mike Ohlsson sent home during a Peace Corps tour in Jamaica. It is two years since traumatic events forced Beth to leave Jamaica, the Peace Corps, and husband Mike. Now alone, she decides to come to grips with the past by retreating to her cabin at Bent Needle Lake in Northern Minnesota to write a book to exorcise her Jamaican duppies (ghosts).Actually, SOON COME is two interwoven stories: One is Beths story of two middle-aged people chucking a comfortable life to join the Peace Corps and her role in the events that have been haunting her. The other story is of her summer of writing and meeting Nick Faber, a college instructor, who rents a neighboring cabin. The stories shift between the sharply contrasted worlds of serene Bent Needle Lake and turbulent Jamaica.
