Much lauded and applauded and headlined as a “Spicy” guest speaker and volunteer, retired nurse, fighting the ghosts of color prejudice, child molestation, drug abuse, multiple marriages, and brain aneurysms Donnamarie Hamilton-Ross tells her story of life as a Jamaican “Brownin”, and her poetic wandering book worthy travels.
Wrapped in tragedy, there is humor and faith as she attacks Jamaica’s current institutions in “So Go Ahead and Sue Me” and “Approved Proxy Voting” She asks herself in facing prejudice “Am I an Anti-Semite?” Hinting at the gun running that exists in Jamaica today “ Do you want to hear a story…guns packed in oil, greenish in the light…”
Her love stories told in “Glory Days, “Comet Coma” and “My Mr. Big” described in “A Writers Notes” as “ the love of Roy and Roy and Roy,”
Jamaica and Florida, music and commentary, institutions, madness and close death, the stories bring tears and laughter.
