Having lost her father during her childhood, the author retraces her earliest memories of growing up in the idyllic setting of Barbados. While happy and securely attached to her parents, she experienced poverty. Her mother's decision to emigrate to England to find a new life for her family increased the sense of loss she suffered during her most formative years. Ince-Greenaway's explanation of her experiences of arriving in England during the Windrush years demonstrates the enduring impact of discrimination and racism she faced in the community where she lived and during her education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Christian values she was taught by her mother during her childhood became the backdrop for her resilience as she faced the death of her husband, who was the second Black police officer in the Metropolitan Police.
