Book Description
Having migrated from Trinidad and Tobago at the age of seventeen, my dreams of a positive role model in society was to make a contribution in the fashion industry, perhaps. However, as a source of income, my journey started in the medical fi eld and is still my foundation. The Thorns and Petals of Life is a bitter-sweet journey from my soap opera drama to seeking salvation from God the father. I can attest that God is watching over me and pruning the things and people that are not of Him from my life. Out of all of my tears, which I can now call treasures, Thank You God, I Know You For Myself, is the most priceless experience that can be compared to none other. I thank God for being the keeper of The Thorns and Petals of Life that have formed my character and given birth to my destiny. I am particularly humbled when I think of His Footprints In the Sand. Had it not been for the Lord on my side where would I be? I am glad to know that so many of my decisions were overruled and He ordered my steps. Among the many gifts God favored me; a poet was never an option that I envisioned. He knew my destiny before I embarked on therapeutically expressing my emotions and creativity by writing poems over twenty years ago. I thank God for using me as a vessel to share My Contributions of Heartaches, Wisdom and Spirituality with His people. If I Can Help Somebody Along The Way, Then My Living Will Not Be in Vain.

Book Description
Roses, pleasure and politics: a fresh take on Orwell as an avid gardener, whose political writing was grounded in his passion for the natural world. 'I loved this book... An exhilarating romp through Orwell's life and times' Margaret Atwood 'Expansive and thought-provoking' Independent Outside my work the thing I care most about is gardening - George Orwell Inspired by her encounter with the surviving roses that Orwell is said to have planted in his cottage in Hertfordshire, Rebecca Solnit explores how his involvement with plants, particularly flowers, illuminates his other commitments as a writer and antifascist, and the intertwined politics of nature and power. Following his journey from the coal mines of England to taking up arms in the Spanish Civil War; from his prescient critique of Stalin to his analysis of the relationship between lies and authoritarianism, Solnit finds a more hopeful Orwell, whose love of nature pulses through his work and actions. And in her dialogue with the author, she makes fascinating forays into colonial legacies in the flower garden, discovers photographer Tina Modotti's roses, reveals Stalin's obsession with growing lemons in impossibly cold conditions, and exposes the brutal rose industry in Colombia. A fresh reading of a towering figure of the 20th century which finds solace and solutions for the political and environmental challenges we face today, Orwell's Roses is a remarkable reflection on pleasure, beauty, and joy as acts of resistance. 'Luminous...It is efflorescent, a study that seeds and blooms, propagates thoughts, and tends to historical associations' New Statesman 'A genuinely extraordinary mind, whose curiosity, intelligence and willingness to learn seem unbounded' Irish Times
