520    Remote Pitcairn Island, a place of towering cliffs and 
       lashing surf, is home to descendants of Fletcher Christian
       and the Bounty crew, who fled there with a group of 
       Tahitian maidens after deposing Captain Bligh in 1789. 
       Shrouded in myth, the island was considered a tropical 
       Shangri-La by outsiders--but as the world discovered two 
       centuries later, it was also a place of sinister secrets. 
       In 2000, police descended on the British territory to 
       investigate an allegation of child rape, and uncovered a 
       trail of child abuse dating back at least three 
       generations. Most islanders, including the victims' 
       mothers, claimed it was the Pitcairn "way of life." The 
       ensuing trials commanded worldwide attention and tore the 
       close-knit, interrelated community apart. Journalist Kathy
       Marks lived on Pitcairn for six weeks and observed how the
       tiny, claustrophobic community ticked: the gossip, the 
       feuding, the intimacy--and the power dynamics that had 
       allowed the abuse to flourish.--From publisher
