Stars In The Sky At Dawn: Enduring Memories of Childhood

is based on actual events; and presents personal stories that shaped the life and experiences of the author while growing up in the small, close-knit community she calls Canary Hall, on a Caribbean island. The accounts outlined provide the reader not only with an understanding of community structure and the exigencies of daily living, but also invaluable insight into the ideals that governed family life, child-rearing and social interaction.

These entrenched values are lasting, and are the foundations on which the present is built and the future determined. This work also calls attention to the values that can mould ones thoughts and behavior, as one journeys through life and experiences its transformations. It reveals that beauty is ever present, even in unlikely places; and can be found when and where we make a conscious effort to discover such.
