Sonia did not see why she should ever allow a man to use her against her wishes. To protect herself, she joins a karate class to learn self-defense. Twice, she draws on these skills to save herself from attack.Focusing on the empowerment of women, the insightful novel Sonia Baldwin: One of St. Ursula's 11,000 Virgins is set in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, spanning the years 1940 to 2020.The author - echoing the beliefs of Sonia's father - contends that there is too much corruption in the world, and that women too often become passive when confronted with physical aggression from someone stronger. Tragically, this passivity can leave women unable to resist or fight back, even when they possess the ability to do so.Through her own experiences, Sonia learns that fighting back is essential not only for her safety, but also for her sense of dignity and self-esteem.About the Author:Hugo Felix Vanterpool was born and raised in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Now retired, he studied at the Teachers' Training College in Antigua and at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica.
