Author Vanessa Mayorga’s New Book, “Captive,” Follows a Woman Who Lives on an Uncharted Island and Believes She is Completely Alone Until Her Life is Forever Changed

Mayorga begins her story, “I was the only one here. I thought dully to myself. I was the only one here all my life really.
“I knew nobody else except the animals that lived here and the colors of green and cool salty waters that danced in front of me. I noted, while scanning my surroundings, the only friend that I currently have is a monkey. I stared at my surroundings without breathing for a moment, only thinking, as I stared across the great waters and sandy shore.”
Mayorga continues, “I couldn’t live another thirty years like this, if I would last another year like this anyways. I couldn’t possibly be the only one here. There had to be something else somewhere around here besides me. This place couldn’t possibly be the only thing in this world. Heck, I couldn’t possibly be the only one left. I wanted to know more about what was out there other than the waters around me, but I had no way to get through it if I did find a way. The water could swallow me whole, or the gods and goddesses could tamper with me and test me.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Vanessa Mayorga’s new book is a stirring and unforgettable tale that will leave readers spellbound as they follow along on Mischa’s journey to discover what lies beyond her world, and what could possibly await her if she escapes from the confines of her island.
Expertly paced and thought-provoking, Mayorga weaves a poignant and character-driven narrative that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats and remain with them long after its conclusion.

Why Music Matters—Especially in Later Life

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities
The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
