Description

A DNA test that the author takes provides the impetus for these ten short stories set mainly in the Linden area of Guyana, South America. The first story, “Finding My Roots”, not only focuses on the author’s European roots but also on the fact that her African roots, the majority of her DNA, will never be unearthed or explored. The backdrop of most of the stories is the scenic Demerara River on the east bank of which the author lived for twelve years. (THIS BOOK IS HEAVILY ILLUSTRATED!)
