The Talking Palm: How the childhood storms of a young woman's life remained hidden until a palm fruit started talking

 Sheryl grows up in the #Caribbean isle of #Dominica believing in a #cultural myth that a big bad man called a “skerrit” kills children who do not go to school. But a #truant Sheryl thinks that can never happen to her until the day she learns that the “skerrit” has come to get her, and the #frightened nine-year old Sheryl face a #fate that she thinks nobody can save her from.  As Sheryl matures and #encounters more #powerful people determined to harm her, however, she fights back the best she can. One day, an unusually mighty friend whom she has been longing to see all of her life finally visits her land.  But the #excited twenty-year old soon #discovers that her friend’s landing is not what she had #anticipated, and more than she had expected.  Stories of #stormy as well as #delightful encounters in this #novel are buried deep within Sheryl, until one night, one late #college night, when a #palm fruit starts her talking.

  4. I read your wonderful review on goodreads.com.
    I appreciate your honest gut feedback and response to the book. Thank you as well for your well wishes and for making my work known to the world.
    I am working hard to share Sheryl's voice with the world. I trust that it will eventually receive her voice.

    It seems that Sheryl's story touched you deeply. I am glad it made you feel that you are not alone. This is one of my most passionate desires: for young women/girls to realize they are not alone in their challenges.
    I went directly to your blog and saw your request to go to it through your twitter account.
    So I will return through your twitter account.
    Thanks again
