<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Barrington Wright is a native Jamaican. In this novel, he is your tour guide through a segment of Jamaica's overgrown pathway to freedom, where some people were trapped at the bottom of the social pyramid. His path through prevailing experiences on Jamaican plantations and the social environment of Coronation Market is lit by reflection and imagination. He obtained his formal education in Kingston, London, Montreal and in New York City, where he received a postgraduate degree in Public Administration. He retired from public service as Assistant Commissioner at New York City's Department of Housing Preservation and Development. His writing confirms that he retains his interest in complex social issues and his sense of humor.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"In this novel, Barrington Wright takes the reader on an enthralling journey through his native Jamaica. Along the way we move from countryside to city, from plantations to Coronation market, a place of hope and despair. The story recounts the aspirations and dreams of a cross section of the Island's poor and struggling. The reader journeys with them along the difficult paths they take, striving for better, more meaningful lives, and is with them at the novel's end, happy to have been along for the ride."</em></p><p>John Howard, Ph.D., J.D., author, <br /> Faces in the Mirror: Oscar Micheaux and Spike Lee, <br /> Poor Joshua: The DeShaney Case and Child Abuse in America.</p><br>
