THE HAGUE--St. Martin’s history and culture took center stage in The Hague when TamLeo Books author Ralph Cantave brought the island’s stories to life during a special event at the St. Maarten House.

Cantave read excerpts from Soualigan Tales: Steve Takes A Stand, his TamLeo Books release that blends compelling storytelling with defining moments from St. Martin’s past. His vivid descriptions of the island’s people, history, and values drew the audience in, sparking thoughtful conversations about heritage and identity.

The reading was followed by an engaging discussion, where guests explored topics such as the role of literature in preserving St. Martin history and the importance of recording these narratives for generations to come. The exchange fostered a sense of unity and pride, connecting St. Martiners in the Netherlands to their cultural roots back home.

Attendees left not only inspired but with signed copies of Cantave’s book, turning the evening into both a cultural and personal experience.
