A unique two-part novella, part one, Pastor Mann, is a story about the challenging and interesting life of Ezekiel Mann, which he endures with the support of family and friends. Part two, Sister Precious in the Valley of Despair, is about Precious, a meddlesome woman who people try to avoid. Set in rural Jamaica from the 1960s to 1990s, the novella is a multidimensional tale that is as deep and thought-provoking, as it is humourous.
