Produktbeschreibung
Trixie resides in the Island of Barbados, for many visitors to Barbados, the Island is beautiful, tranquil and peaceful, but beneath the surface of this paradise lies a class structure that is so tightly held in place that for many reaching the top of this structure is hard to accomplish, and only a few are able to penetrate enabling them to move up the ladder. Trixie is one of the few, who was able to penetrate and move up the ladder, but the journey wasn't easy, because Trixie from the beginning was set up to fail, with a mother who loved her but had difficulty putting Trixie's needs above her own, a father who constantly abandoned her because he was a dead beat, her mother's family except for two aunts who resented her because they felt she was given everything, and her father's family who except for an uncle and great uncle acted as if she didn't exist.

Autorenporträt
I reside in the Caribbean Island of Barbados with my daughter. I am a social worker. It is because of this that I mustered the courage to write this book. As a social worker, I am supposed to be a change agent to advocate on behalf of the disadvantaged and disempowered, but I was frustrated with a system and colleagues that treated clients as if the clients were the problems. I realized that based on my life, I had travelled the same road many clients had walked. Probably many of us have walked similar roads, but somewhere along the journey, our masks come on, creating the impression that we have it all together. The thing about the facade is that it is so brilliantly woven together that we think it is real. This book is my way of stripping away my facade and going on a journey to me.
