We see the charm, guile and resilience of country folk. Evette’s stories are a smorgasbord of witty situations, ironic twists and life lessons.

"While reading the stories, I was reminded of my family living in rural Jamaica. These stories beautifully capture the essence of Jamaican culture, language, and traditions. The themes of these stories reflect important aspects of the Jamaican society, including resilience, community, and historical memory. They include aspects of the dialect and demonstrate how it can be used in written formats. This collection will serve as a valuable literary and cultural resource and should be in school, academic, and public library collections in Jamaica and the Caribbean."
