With my book, With Grace, a Caribbean fairytale, I am thrilled to add to the list of fairytales, that genre of stories/books that become among the first to capture the imaginations of young readers.
In a nutshell, it’s the story of Grace who enjoys her life on Grace’s Peak from which she can look down on the villagers who are not as fortunate as she. But when a young girl comes in search of assistance, both lives are forever changed as truths about love, family and community are unearthed.
With Grace is coming soon and I’m looking forward to it. Hope you will be too.
