A daughter's retrospective journey into the life of her father in a concise collection of memories. The earlier stories introduces Wilmurt, a man of humble beginnings whose main goal in life is to educate and protect his children. It also introduces Nadine, a shy, sensitive child who adores her father. The book offers glimpses of life on the island of Dominica and are sprinkled with words and phrases from the kwéyol language spoken on the island. They highlight a child's innocence and a man's pride in his family. The latter stories tell of minor father/daughter conflict, island politics, the effects of migration on a family, and the victories and losses of cancer. Through it all, the book maintains a common thread of respect and love between father and daughter. The book is also illustrated by the author (illustrations not available in Kindle version but are available on author's webpage).
