Publisher's Synopsis
The author reminisces about her past, how her younger sibling and she were locked up in a tiny room, how the two of them were lost in the country and how the sudden and untimely, tragic death of her mother completely changed the lives of her brother and sister and herself. She writes about the fear she and other passengers felt when aboard a ship sailing to the U.K. the crew had to wrestle a mad individual to bring him under control. The author witnessed on a film set in London a famous dancer's clothes catching afire as she (the dancer) was dancing on set. She explains how by the grace of God she could have been branded a thief and possibly receive a jail term. A coup in her native Trinidad prevented her from returning home from London and the anxiety passengers, of whom she was one, experienced when a bird flew into the engine of a plane taking them to London from Barcelona and was forced to return to Barcelona.
