Goodbye Brooklyn

By Annette Fabian Winter

Goodbye Brooklyn is a humorous story of a honeymoon between a skeptical middle-class white gal named Annie from Brooklyn and a credulous upper-class black guy named Wally from Manhattan. A marriage between a dreamer who wants to build a boat to sail around the world and a realist unsure of his skills. Fortunately for her hubby, along comes a therapist who secures a carpentry job with a loin-clothed, foul mouthed ex-patient of his on a remote Caribbean island. The carpenter appears to have arranged for the local coffin maker to murder his wife. This same coffin maker stalks our young heroine from day one of her arrival. Goodbye Brooklyn is my semi-autobiographical story of lovers who leave disapproving-in-laws and social opposition, only to begin their marital life in a windowless stone hut surrounded by a thicket of trees and the cries of unseen creatures.. Annie and Wally huddle on a broken bed beneath a bloodied machete. A solitary light bulb and a rooftop tank of water their only comfort. Not a toilet in sight. Far from their roots they are rootless. At times illogically terrified. At other times deliciously happy and, despite being mired in danger, foolishly sure of their safety. Most of all, Goodbye Brooklyn is a light-hearted query into the endurance of love midst problems galore.To sample the first 5 chapters go to :http://www.amazon.com/kindle/dp/B00BTTDMTW/Whether you buy the paper back or the E-book for Kindle - PLEASE write a review on Amazon to help "Goodbye Brooklyn" climb the ladder of success it deserves.
