Yellow Dad

by Patricia J. Adams

Two young men, Wilbert and Jeff, take very different paths in their quest to be accepted by those whom they care most about. Wilbert falls into difficulty when he is caught between his pursuit of his love and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Will the love for his daughter be enough to sustain him through the numerous hurdles of society?

Jeff Lark narrates this gripping story as he seeks to resolve personal issues that plagued him since the death of his mother. Only one person can allay his deepest fears and satisfy his distressing doubts. How the two stories are intertwined is a powerful twist of fate that captivates the mind through the first language of Anguilla, while recording its culture of years gone by.

Captivating and thorough compilation of Anguillian culture. Jeff's story is one worth reading and this story is compelling and at times very entertaining.
