A Rose from Olive River (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789988389550)

It's the 60s, and young Morine feels trapped, not just in the small Jamaican town of Olive River - but in a life marked by the mundane. Her family's poverty and the community's seeming contentment with the ordinary, fuel her desire to flee from the place she has called home all her life.
Driven by ambition and the thrill of first love, Morine, haunted by shadows of abuse, heads to the United States of America, holding onto its promise and repute for better.
While America does live up to its promise, it does so only after imparting profound lessons on love, loss, trust and the human spirit's capacity for resilience and growth.
True bliss is found within ourselves, not solely in the places we seek refuge.
