Book excerpt: Growing up on the island is like a child¿s first glimpse of the stars at midnight. The Bahamas in the early sixties, seventies and eighties was a village with excitement. You can tell by listening to the old folks about the good old days. We went crabbing in the bush, climbing the coconut tree, picked sapodilla and coco plumbs from the wild and made pepper sauce from the garden in the back yard.Life was simple, but the ability to persevere as a people strengthen the spirit of hope. Some of the most meaningful and memorable experiences of my childhood are connected in part to the stories you will read about. I hope you enjoy my vatae of life on Cat Island.
