athryn Bailey is a single Jamaican woman of East Indian descent living
in Miami, Florida. Her teenage daughter, Jasmine, disappears and she
pursues all clues to find her. Her search takes her to Jacob Virgo, a professor
of Black History and a devoted Garveyite and dreadlock.
The two have very little in common but reluctantly join forces to find
Jasmine. Despite an initial resistance and denial, Garvey’s lessons and
teachings break down subtle barriers in their partnership. They not only
manage to battle and overcome their own personal demons, but find
strength, honour, integrity and redemption in their quest and best of all, a
tender love with passion and depth.

ind Games
is a compelling story of an eleven-year-old boy, Matthew,
who has the uncanny gift of being able to influence people’s thought
processes, sometimes unintentionally. Physically, he is short of stature so he
is bullied by some of his peers. To defend himself, Matthew learns to perfect
the art of playing games with the bullies’ minds.
The story turns deadly when some boys, having become aware of his powers,
befriend him and coerce him into playing dangerous games of criminal
mastermind. This leads to a series of events that land some of the characters
in trouble with the law and one in the hospital at death’s door.
