This book chronicles the life of a young girl from age four to sixteen, living on the island of Jamaica. The stories examine important relationships in her life as well as particular incidents that help to shape her self perception. It is a book about strong relationships among family, friends and community and the role they play in raising a child. Set against a backdrop of the islandâs beauty, Kerri-Anneâs stories will take you from the heights of joy and laughter to moments of fear and sadness and back again. Told in descriptive detail that incorporates the native dialect, patois, the stories are beautiful time pieces that capture life in Jamaica in the 1970s to mid 1980s. Readers are in for a treat.
