Retreat to one of the world's best beaches with a good book and the author of it, too. New York Times best-selling author Lee Woodruff will be hosting a two-day book retreat this spring at The Somerset on GraceBay in Turks and Caicos.

Lee will lead participants through personal discussions about various literary topics and writing her most recent book, “Those We Love Most,” which is a New York Times best-seller and won the Washington Irving Book Award for fiction. The Book Retreat with Lee Woodruff will be May 12 – 13, 2014, and include: 

• Meet & Greet cocktail reception with Lee Woodruff
• Dinner with the author on Monday evening
• Two discussion sessions with Lee Woodruff
• Beach BBQ party on the final evening
• Daily Continental breakfast

“Those We Love Most,” is Lee's first novel and follows her best-selling book, “Perfectly Imperfect – A Life in Progress.” As co-author of the best-selling book “In an Instant,” Lee Woodruff garnered critical acclaim for the compelling and humorous chronicle of her family's journey to recovery following her husband Bob's roadside bomb injury in Iraq. Appearing together on national television and radio since the February 2007 publication of their book, the couple has helped put a face on the serious issue of traumatic brain injury. The Bob Woodruff Foundation, which the couple founded, has raised more than $20 million to-date to assist wounded service members and their families. In addition to writing, Lee is a contributing reporter for “CBS This Morning.”

Book lovers will enjoy the intimate, serene setting to read and engage in discussions with the famous author. When not in discussions, participants can get lost in a good book on a lounge chair on the white sand beach, by the picturesque infinity pool or on the private villa terraces. Beyond the book pages, guests may enjoy complimentary snorkeling and kayaks, fitness center and steam room, croquet, and bicycles to explore the shops of GraceBay.

The two-day retreat is just $299 per person, including taxes and gratuities. It is available as an add-on to any accommodations, and may be combined with other offers and specials. Luxury villa accommodations, from 1- to 5-bedroom, are ideal for guests traveling with friends, family or book club.
