In her story set in Jamaica, Ms. Williams explores the circumstances leading up to the fiery end of a marriage built on deceit, power play and ignorance. The author interjects hilarious anecdotes into this poignant account of a family under duress as seen through the eyes of her child protagonist: Addie.
Addie relates a heartrending story of physical and emotional abuse, poverty, anger, social prejudices, innocence lost and spiritual decay in the wake of an injudicious abstraction of God and truth.
