Produktbeschreibung
After the death of her American husband, Josephine Myers Blakely has moved back to Jamaica, the land of her birth. Married at nineteen and widowed at forty, Jo is adrift in a sea of grief. Then a chance meeting with a shadowy family member sets her on a path to help her family atone for generations of sin...or perish with them in the fire of their own destruction. She must find the strength to walk between two worlds, reconciling them, not only for her family's survival, but for hers as well. To find her destiny, she will learn that life was never meant to be lived in a straight line. Redemption Songs is a fictional but contemporary telling of societal life in Jamaica; where lessons of taking responsibility for oneself and others, of righting wrongs, of recognizing duty, honor, loyalty, equality, and fairness are universal. But it is the greater message of love, loss, betrayal and finding love again that makes Redemption Songs an enthralling read.
Autorenporträt
Lynda Edwards was born in Jamaica, coming of age during a turbulent time in the island's history. Like most Caribbean people, she is a born story teller inspired by the unconventional family she comes from and the incongruity of her upbringing. Her story telling is dimensional and compelling, leaving you turning the pages to find out what happens next. Lynda now lives in Orlando with her husband of twenty-four years...who says she is still his most expensive souvenir. Redemption Songs was born from a nightmare. After waking her husband and describing the terrifying dream to him, he advised her to write it down, then rolled over and went back to sleep. His advice resulted in her first published novel and him getting some well-deserved rest.
