Christine did a wonderful job of telling one very important and interesting story from several perspectives, many interesting characters, and a few destinations. From Jamaica, to Florida to Brooklyn I was interested from beginning to end.
Class predjudice vs color predjudice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Great book to read. Anyone not sure about how the islands are and how migration can affect immigrants. Christine did a good job of merging the two and bringing out the whole issue of class predjudice in the islands. Suggested reading for people that have an international flavor! Way to go Christine, anxiously awaiting the sequel!!
Compelling voice......

From the lush island of Jamaica to the brownstones of Brooklyn we are swept into the world of the Porter family and Ms. Baugh has us rooting for them as we do ourselves!
Superbly done. . . .

This was a wonderful look at the socialization and class driven society of Jamaican and African-American descendants. The characterization of the Porter family is superbly done and beautifully crafted. This book is a must buy for all!!
Never before glance into the Jamaican upperclass!
