Stories from Yard
Alecia McKenzie
In this collection of compelling short stories set in Jamaica and the United States, female characters rely on their resilience, creativity, optimism, humor, and friendship to help them make their way in a difficult world. In these diverse and subtly constructed stories, gritty realism and irony are in constant tension with possibility and hope, as a child overcomes her fear of roaches to get an education, a middle-aged woman Reggae singer finds happiness with a younger Brazilian lover, and estranged friends seek forgiveness.
