Recounting birth to unwed mother and married father, at infamous no-man's-land enclave, "Backbush", Long Mountain's Wareika foothils, Mountain View Avenue. Mother was live-in domestic. Grandma peddled wares at "Grass Yard" open-air marketplace until new "Coronation Market" was built on site an old cemetery. Market Police declared, "Market was not daycare." Maxfield Park Children's Home was next abode, albeit, temporary twice. Socially underprivileged, ostracized by bigoted society of that era, denied access to elementary learning, until taken in by kind act of Roman Catholic administrators at their South Camp Road, Alpha complex. Endured hometown Monicker, "The Little Bastard", even when performing as reading prodigy at bars and cook-shops for a fritter or iced toto and bulla. Sickly from birth, endured many illnesses, some mysterious, then near accidents and later, murder plots. Overcoming challenges and striving to be trained as a lawyer. Gave an endearing missive to English teen who accompanied the British examiner on Latin literati test, and was promptly disqualified from future pursuits in that discipline, being guilty of ungentlemanly behaviour. In adulthood, became Paragon to some, pariah to others and successful entrepreneur in varied fields of endeavour. Amid travels and travails there are tales of love and sexploits, riveting escapades and ensuing escapes that begins with seduction at twelve by voluptuous twenty-six years old female who viciously kicked him from their love nest because he "peed" and didn't tell her. Self recognition as possible deviant, sought psychiatric intervention and considers himself redeemed. Yet, there are them that declares. "Not that you wouldn't, more likely you couldn't." Informative and adventurous, every page an inspired journey back in time to the Jamaica that was, to the present in West Kendall, Miami-Dade County and Cape Coral, southwest Florida, Lee County.

"People at Play" "Everyday People at Work and Play" "People Working thru Life's Challenges" are true to life fiction with serious laughs and insight into alien cultures, notably Caribbean people's. Highlighting comedic situations that arises in our daily lives, creating challenges and dominance of human psyche to prevail, if only in quest of self preservation. That intrinsic instinct with which all lifeforms are created. There is tendency to see ourselves or someone we know. Maybe, One held dear. In parallel with characters portrayed, which often beggars the question or unspoken rumination. "Has someone been sharing my secrets?" This reinforces truth that the human story, always in concert with our existence. Re-enacted on life's stage in obvious, unrecognized, continuous drama that in and of itself, is LIFE
