David Coggins immerses readers in the French West Indies through his affectionate stories adorned with watercolor and ink drawings in Blue: A St. Barts Memoir. For decades, Coggins and his family have treasured the "simple but sophisticated pleasures" of their séjours on the French island of Saint Barthélemy.
