Arthur describes Delano Island, not as a hometown, but as a home island, drawing a comparison to Manhattan in size and shape but with a much smaller population of only a thousand residents. This picturesque island is located between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, easily accessible from Los Angeles. Its natural beauty is characterized by temperate rain forests and rocky beaches, creating a serene atmosphere.

The island's charm also includes its wildlife, with deer often wandering into gardens and crossing paths unexpectedly. The landscape is enriched by the presence of moss-covered branches and the gentle sound of wind through cedar trees, evoking a sense of tranquility and connection to nature that defines life on Delano Island.
