A good short narrative of being brought up in the Caribbean .The multiplicity of motherhood in Cynthia's life rings true for many of us who are familiar with Caribbean culture and anyone who recognizes the all too familiar issues of self identification during one's early teens.

This rape affected her mother for the rest of her life, making it impossible to be happy even though she had a very nice boyfriend in New York. It also affected the main character, as she was raised for 12 years by a much-loved aunt, then sent to live with the damaged mother.
