Publisher's Synopsis
Indulge yourself as your enter the world of this largely unknown, yet very iconic Dominican legend, Mrs Vernice Bellony. A true treasure of the Dominican soil, through the eyes of the writer, Vernice tells her simple life story... A modest approach in telling the tale of the most extraordinary moments in the life of a long standing queen, makes the achievements look like a walk in the park. As Vernice tells of her experiences and accomplishments, she paused, momentarily, to reflect on some of the moments that invoked the most emotions. Although she did not allow herself to openly shed any tears, with a bit of imagination, the reader can capture the very strong emotions that she must have felt, as she relieved herself, talking of certain events.The varied and unusual pattern of Vernice's life and path, speaks for itself. It was no easy or straight road to manoeuvre but she did it...and it suffices me to say that she did it her way. A healthy posterity and a very exemplary upbringing, Vernice's life is a scented rose, thanks largely to her presence and image and the utmost respect they command; coupoled with her ardour and the family love and appreciation for who she is. Bless her heart.In this book, the reader will also learn of the village that Mrs Bellony grew up in. Complete with images and pictures, the reader takes the tour of a life icon and what it was like for her growing up, becoming a woman, a teacher, a mother, a social worker, a politician and an inspiration. The write up completes itself with some basic historical facts and images about the latest development in the village of Itassi.
