Book Description
Jamaicans, like others around the world, often experience a tugging at the heart that can only be assuaged by pleasant memories. In her collection of old Jamaican proverbs, Edna Bennett shares the powerful messages and folk wisdom of the Jamaican people, conveying not only the mellowness of nostalgia, but also the gentleness of the island culture. Led by a desire to keep her culture alive, Bennett urges others to take five, cock up yu foot, and 'member what yu old people used to say as she offers collective wisdom presented in Jamaican dialect with English translations. Unforgettable sayings gathered from over three hundred years of Jamaican history include ban' yu belly (be prepared for hardships), cotton tree fall dung, nanny goat jump over it (when the mighty falls, the humblest may take advantage of him), and yu se' man face, yu nuh se' 'im heart (you cannot tell a man's true feelings by the look on his face). More Jamaica Old-Time Sayings will spur memories, transport Jamaicans back to the roots of their culture, and encourage others to not live their lives like a kitchen without a knife, but to focus on the whetstone of Jamaican wisdom.

Book Description
On the emerald green island of Jamaica, an unpredictable adventure awaits twins Ana and Nicky who travel there to celebrate their coming of age. Under the Caribbean sun, they anticipate a holiday filled with fun, freedom, and excitement. But the idyllic island harbours hidden dangers beyond their expectations. As the twins revel amid the natural tropical beauty, the thin veneer of paradise soon peels away. Their riveting journey quickly becomes a rollercoaster of suspense and action, where lust masquerades as love, morality wears ambiguous shades of gray, innocence hangs in the balance, and ruin looms one impulsive misstep away. Ultimately, Ana and Nicky’s suspenseful odyssey of twists and turns, romantic encounters, and narrow escapes will redefine their limits of self-preservation. On an island where peril and pleasure intertwine, the twins’ quest for discovery threatens any chance of returning home the same. Their choices will determine if this final fling is merely the end of their adventurous holiday or the end of innocence itself.

Book Description
One Foot in Jamaica is a remarkable story of remarkable women as they raise their families -- and sometimes a little bit of hell -- in Jamaica and Boston. When Helen, a Jamaican teenager, loses her parents to malaria in 1880, she is forced to find work on a sugar plantation. There she is raped by the owner and gives birth to a daughter, Eva, setting into motion this captivating story of four generations of women -- the adventures not only of Helen and Eva but also of Eva's daughter Gwen and Gwen's daughter Eleanor, the author of this book. One Foot in Jamaica is a sweeping tale of Jamaica, including plantation life, the 1907 earthquake in Kingston, the country's struggles during the war years, and what it was like to live at the centre of Island society as Gwen marries an up-and-coming Jamaican lawyer, the son of Jamaica's former Treasurer. And it is a unique portrayal of Boston during days of racial prejudice and the Roaring Twenties, with that decade's shocking rise and fall of hemlines and the stock market.

Book Description
Michelle Freeman: Strong-willed and opinionated: feisty, determined and independent. Knows what she wants and goes after it. Mavis: Michelles stepmother: lacks formal education but possesses a sharp intelligence and innate common sense. Grandma Miriam: Michelles maternal grandmother and matriarch of the Campbell family. Richard Armstrong: Tall, good-looking; dreadlocked. Entirely too sure of himself in Michelles opinion, but captures her heart anyway. Michelle Freeman, affectionately known as Shell or Shellie, was born in Jamaica but migrated to England with her parents at the age of three. At age thirteen her life is thrown into turmoil when she accidentally discovers that her fathers wife, whom she had always taken for granted as being her mother, is in fact, not. This shocking discovery leads her to begin a search for her biological mother. The search eventually takes her to Jamaica where she finds a large extended maternal family and develops a deep and abiding love for the island of her birth. After leaving school and university in London, where she studied journalism, Shellie decides to leave the UK and practise her profession in Jamaica. However, all is not plain sailing, as she encounters culture shock, prejudice and jealousy and comes to the realisation that her beloved island is not the idyllic paradise she had supposed it to be. Set in South London and on the beautiful island of Jamaica, the story spans seventeen years, following the fiery and feisty young woman through her teenage years, young love and tragedy, and into adulthood and more conflicts and clashes.
