Barefoot Days: Jamaican Born and Raised (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798997651503)

Barefoot Days: Jamaican Born and Raised is a warm, spirited memoir that carries readers into the heart of rural Jamaica, where childhood was shaped by barefoot adventures, strong family bonds, and the watchful eyes of elders who believed in discipline, laughter, and love. Through vivid storytelling, Dian Simms brings to life the sounds of the yard, the smell of Sunday dinner, the joy of schoolyard games, and the lessons learned from a community that raised its children together. This book celebrates resilience, culture, and the unforgettable moments that stay with us long after we leave home. It is a tribute to the people, traditions, and memories that shaped a Jamaican girl growing up with pride, mischief, and plenty of stories to tell.
