In 1994 my mother was admitted to hospital in the UK seriously ill. I realized had she died so would the chance of my finding out about her past, her family in Jamaica and who my father was, information she had refused to tell me. So I decided to find out for myself.

My blog relates the Jamaican history behind the story of a remarkable woman who, because of circumstances, made a choice, which caused her to lose contact with her beloved family in Jamaica, until nearly half a century later when her past caught up her.
