This collection of short stories is a lively rendition of the life experiences of people in rural as well as urban Jamaican settings. The stories centre around a wide range of themes such as love, betrayal, family relationships, male-female relationships, trust, growing up and change.

These are “real” fictional characters whom we can recall from our own experiences. We respond to their foibles and efforts to overcome and succeed with laughter, empathy and sometimes sadness. All in all, these are stories about living.
