Autorenporträt
Robert Picart's affinity for culture, music, and good company began while growing up in Toronto, Canada. As a business consultant, former missionary, and world traveler, Picart is forever an observer and storyteller. What began as a personal project to learn about his mother's life and Jamaican heritage, quickly evolved into his debut novel, Goddie, celebrating the trials and tribulations of an immigrant's journey and what it means to start over from the middle.
