| | Synopsis
|
"Kara Davis is a girl caught in the middle—of her Canadian
nationality and her desire to be a 'true' Jamaican, of her mother and
grandmother's rages and life lessons. . . Set in 'Little Jamaica,'
Toronto's Eglinton West neighbourhood, Kara moves from girlhood to
the threshold of adulthood, from elementary school to high school
graduation, in these twelve interconnected stories. We see her on a
visit to Jamaica, startled by the sight of a severed pig's head in
her great aunt's freezer; in junior high, the victim of a devastating
prank by her closest friends; and as a teenager in and out of her
grandmother's house, trying to cope with the ongoing battles between
her unyielding grandparents"—Provided by publisher.
