About the Novel:

Bridget Hall is a driven & successful entrepreneur running a non-profit company named the Coffee Exchange Alliance. She is working to establish a fair-trade business presence on the Caribbean island of Salavandra, but must overcome the corrupt Minister of Agriculture, Rafael Gallegos, who profits by marginalizing coffee farmers and smuggling their product to Jamaica. Bridget tackles personal & professional challenges on Salavandra that ultimately shake her belief in the choices she has made in life as well as in her self-appointed role as savior of the coffee farmers on Salavandra.

About the Author:

This is the second novel from Theodore Erski, a sequel to his debut work, Salavandra: A Coffee Tale. A Coffee Crusade examines some of the challenges that fair trade advocates tackle when working to establish more equitable terms-of-trade between producers and consumers. It also reveals many details of small-scale coffee processing, from cultivating trees to sorting beans for the export market. Theodore hopes this book contributes to a sense of global connectivity and responsibility whenever consumers take a sip of their daily brew.
