Description

Patsy is a beautifully layered portrait of motherhood, immigration and sacrifice. Patsy yearns to escape her Jamaican town for a new life in New York, hoping to reunite with her oldest friend Cicely and rekindle their young love.

However, leaving behind her five-year-old daughter Tru comes at a price, and Patsy soon confronts the harsh reality of life as an undocumented migrant in a hostile city. The novel weaves between the lives of Patsy and Tru, ultimately finding a way back to each other.

This is a story of one woman's fight to discover her sense of self in a world that tries to define her, and of the lasting threads of love stretching across years and oceans.
