Islands on the Fringe: A Year of Micronesian Waves and Wanderers, now available from Amazon in e-book and paperback format, provides a wry portrayal of the ex-pat life, set in a lost latitude of the Pacific.

From Forward Reviews: "The cast is boisterous, animating the book with its charm. Stratton's Pacific is populated by educator, Peace Corps workers, missionaries, and a vanishing breed of hardy adventurers who live off the grid. they are captured in deft strokes and with gentle humor, as when a secretary--learning that Stratton, though from California, doesn't know Leonardo Di Caprio--scoffs, 'I know everyone from my village!' Islands on the Fringe is a wonderful account of a trip across the Pacific and a few seasons of island life."
