Memoirs of Raising in the 5 G's To Rising as a Graduate and a Guiser The Travails of a Jamaican Immigrant Book 7

The Guiser Era

Beschreibung

I am inviting readers into my personal space and sharing some of the "personal...traumas" I endured from a tender age, the relentless parental mobility, the "migrant loss," and the reliving of "lingering wounds," as I searched for "restorative possibilities" as well as the triumphs and successes I experienced later in life. Hopefully, by "collecting, telling, retelling [my] stories", I will find the healing and redemption that I seek. In this the last book of the series following me in my guiser journey as an author, my worldview connected with the health issues I am plagued with (and some they tried to pin on me that I didn't have), my continuous trek into the world of eating healthy foods to keep me alive and my failed attempts to discontinue the ones that will send me to an early grave, and threatening and banning my so-called friends and associated from attending my funeral in patois language, of course. Speaking of death, I also delved into reflections on the passing of my mother, Louise, and the legacy she left us, reflections on two court cases I was involved with - a paternity court case, although I am motherless, and a racially-motivated case. Other stories caught me pleading the belly, and visiting Hampton House, a former hot spot for Black celebrities. Again, I was caught up in situations dealing with larceny and robbery. One of my choosing (praedial), with unfounded accusations (a PDA), and one resulting in my seeking medical treatment because I had the audacity to wear an old, gold hand-me-down bracelet on the wrong side of the tracks in Kingston. I also faced another abduction, this one less serious than the other, my travels to the home Air Bus in Toulouse, France, my failed attempt to get into acting, and the knowledge I gained as a scribe. I hope that you will enjoy reading, not only this book, but the entire seven-book series. I was sure to provide a background in each so that no reader, or child for that matter, is left behind.

Autor

Dr. Indiana Robinson was born in Kingston, Jamaica in the 1950s to David Harrison (Brand Flu/Comvalius) son of a Surinamese immigrant and Indiana Emily Harrison. Her mother, Louise is the daughter of Ellen Lipscombe Perry and James Blake Perry. Dr. R, as she is known to her students, is married to International reggae artiste, Jackie Robinson, lead singer of the Pioneers Reggae Group. She credits her husband, her sisters Fernandie and Sharon, and her two brothers Edgar and Arthur as the pillars on which she stands in pursuing her dreams and aspirations. With no children of her own, she values her stepchildren, Bobby, Marc, and Kelly; her nieces and nephews, Major C. J. Reid, 2nd Lieutenant Tara Price, and Errol Jnr Price; Krisan and Captain Caniggia Harrison; Marsha, Sean Rohan, and Dean Hibbert as well as her grandnephew Caleb and her Godchildren: Dean Beckford, Jahari 'JaJa' Yates, Tyree Hunter, and Little Joan Ennis-Thomas. Dr. Herma Meade Thompson is from a large family. Her mother Viola (nee Baker) and father Reginald were both from the parish of Manchester on the island of Jamaica. Viola was the second wife of Reginald who had ten children from his previous marriage to Florence (nee Stewart). Herma is the eleventh child for Reginald and the only one for Viola. Viola embraced her ten stepchildren (whose mother had died) and continued their upbringing as if she had been the one who had given birth to them; a feat for which she will be forever held in high esteem in their hearts. Herma now has four stepdaughters as a result of her marriage to Lascell - Crystal, April, Laseiqua, and Akelia. Is she in some uncanny coincidence retracing the steps of her mother?
