Jada Longbridge, the only daughter born to a teenaged peasant girl, Amelia, and the older but dashing Jake Longbridge, a married father of six and a member of the declining white Jamaican plantocracy. Jada grew up with a protective mother who kept her sheltered. Jada wore an air of superiority. At an early age, her mother instilled in her that she was special, different, and better than those in the peasant class community in which they lived. Privy to a tidy inheritance, left by Jake Longbridge for his illegitimate daughter, Amelia sent Jada away to charm school where she was taught singing, deportment, and fancy sewing. Jada was being prepared for her station in life; her mother had considered her 'middle class' and was set on marrying her off to the right man. On holidays, Jada would come home. It was on one of these trips home that Warren, a local village boy, had seduced the lovely Jada. Pregnant, for a poor village boy, while betrothed to Dr. Jordan Willoughby who lived in the prestigious Cumberland suburbs, many miles away, Jada's world had come crashing. For 69 years Jada's heart had throb for someone else, she was hurting deep inside but she had concealed the hurt. Now gravely ill and lying in a long-term care facility, she revealed it to her middle-aged children. But will they believe her - after all they had only known a loving father who was no longer around to defend himself. Had she risk losing her children at a time when she needed them most?

Book Description
Welcome, Your Highness. If you’ve picked up this book, you know who you are. You have a taste for life’s finer things: champagne with breakfast, custom lingerie, and kitten heels—even in the snow.

Your romances play out like De Beers moments (well, in your mind anyway). And above all, you know instinctively that the real road to enlightenment begins with entitlement. Princess is a celebration of the princess in every woman—a witty, delightful handbook for building your own happily ever after. You’ll learn (and raise!) your PQ (Princess Quotient), tackle the PSAT (Princess Self-Assessment Test), and answer the age-old princess question: Is having it all ever really enough? Paying homage to the fine art of pampering, the princess rules of entertaining, the princess pooch, and of course, Prince Charming, Princess is sure to be a favorite. After all, it’s about you.

Book Description
Drowning in a Mother's Womb approaches the story of a tumultuous childhood of a young girl in her own words, emotions and feelings. As she relives the horrific incidents of violent abuse, you will empathize with her every struggle and hang on her every word spoken in the language and culture of her experience. The most vital messages from her story are that regardless of the circumstances and situations that this young girl faced, having lived a most colorful life by the age of 13, she found herself drowning in her own resentment for a mother who never felt any remorse for her negligent parenting. Therefore, the girl continued to press toward her future, grasping at any and every place for help. When she least expected it, her broken spirit gave way to what felt like the walls of her mind closing in on her, and she found herself in the psychiatric ward of a local hospital. Ciara allows the reader to identify with a child's need to be nurtured and supported even when the nurturer remains absent and unsupportive.
