This dissertation explored the phenomenon of Online Infidelity. Two hundred thirty seven heterosexual men and women completed an online survey about their experiences online and opinions of online behaviors as infidelity, possible precursors to seeking Online Infidelity, and about their response to vignettes presented about hypothetical Online Infidelity scenarios. The results of the study were compared to information available about Face to Face Infidelity. Reactions to and opinions about Online Infidelity were expected to mirror the research about Face to Face Infidelity. The results of this study indicated that while respondents did react similarly to sexual and combined Online Infidelity as predicted in the literature about FTFI. However, respondents did not respond to emotional Online Infidelity in a way that is similar to the research available about Face to Face Infidelity, indicating that a sexual component needs to be present to induce a strong reaction to Online Infidelity.

It is 1918 and Spanish Flu is epidemic in Suva, the capital of Fiji. Twelve year old Olive is sent with her brothers and grandmother to Taveuni to stay with her childless aunt and uncle on their sugar plantation to escape the disease as her mother lies dying of the flu in their family home. The months that follow hold magic and sorrow for Olive, as she uncovers well kept family secrets and grieves for her dying mother. The Sailmaker''s Daughter is dedicated to the memory of Stephanie Johnson''s grandmother, who was born in Fiji in 1905. Like Olive in the book, her grandmother was one of a large family; her father was the sailmaker in Suva and her mother died of the Spanish Flu at the end of the Great War. The Sailmaker''s Daughter is both a tribute to Stephanie Johnson''s grandmother and a powerful evocation of a mystical paradise lived and lost.
