Maud and her cousins launch their kites deep into the heaven, from the lookout cliff in Montego, Jamaica. Their hope is with the hurricane wind forces of 1917, their kites will be washed up on the shores of Cuba.
The experience of the lift and drag forces of the kites that Maud learned from the neighbor Andrew convinces her that kite flying is the way to contact her parents.
Maud's grandmother, MamaJames, hasn't received a letter from her daughter and son-in-law for many years. The letters suddenly stop coming. Maud becomes worried that something is seriously wrong.
Now eleven years old, Maud remembers the nurturing touch of her mother. The connection she misses so much she found comfort in her mother's pillow. Maud will sniff her mother's pillow and inhale the stained aroma of her mother's bosom embedded on the pillow. She longs for her mother.
Anxiety is building up. The fear of losing her grandmother from her many illnesses and being alone frightens Maud.
Eight years have passed since Ann and Jon, Maud's parents, left Jamaica to work on the tobacco plantation in Cuba.
They have satisfied their work contract six years ago. The cargo ship and the interest of the plantation owners that brought them and other immigrants to Cuba refuse to grant them access to return to their homeland.
Slavery ended, but the Negroes in both countries, Cuba and Jamaica, feel enslaved by the rigid conditions set forth by the White settlers and other lighter-complexioned Negroes. They fought back in their own way to preserve their dignity and happiness as they face many challenges.
Maud misses her mother more than ever, and there are no more letters.
She does the most miraculous thing: bringing her family together to fly kites.
As the 1917 hurricane descends on the shores of Cuba days later, bringing torrential rain, and everything in the atmosphere is dumped on the shores of Cuba, Maud waits...

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
