Christmas In Saint Lucia: A Story Of Complex Family Dynamics

By Jewell Brinkman

This book brought back so many great memories of the Caribbean especially the food and the country-western music.

Twelve-year-old Christy loves everything about Christmas in Saint Lucia: awakening to the smell of delicious beef and pork stewing on coal pots, playing dolls with her cousin Sweetie, and of course, singing along to the music of George Jones. The traditions are threatened when a quarrel breaks out between Christy's mother, Merm, and her aunt Mabel. It's not just a minor tiff between sisters, either: they are so angry with each other that Mabel threatens to spend Christmas with her family in a hotel, and Merm declares that her own family-Christy and her siblings-will spend Christmas Day by themselves.
