Description
Tilla has spent her entire life trying to make her father love her. But every six months, he leaves their family and returns to his true home: the island of Jamaica. When Tilla's mother tells her she'll be spending the summer on the island, Tilla dreads the idea of seeing him again, but longs to discover what life in Jamaica has always held for him. In an unexpected turn of events, Tilla is forced to face the storm that unravels in her own life as she learns about the dark secrets that lie beyond the veil of paradise. As a hurricane bears down on the island, Tilla must navigate the complexities of her family's past and her own identity. Hurricane Summer is a powerful coming-of-age story that explores themes of colourism, classism, young love, and the father-daughter dynamic.
