Publisher's Synopsis
Coming from the Caribbean Island of St Lucia, Stephen's life has been a tapestry woven with threads of faith, resilience, and an unwavering belief in the divine. His early years were marked by battles between the sacred and the ungodly. His departure for England in 1979 to move away from the supernatural shadows cast over his homeland unfolded a new chapter laden with challenges-the most formidable being the spectre of racism. A family power struggle ensued as he navigated the intricate web of generational culture and social dynamics. The pivotal moment of Stephen's life arrived with his marriage to Rose, a transformative event that altered his outlook and demanded an adaptation to an unfamiliar environment.
Stephen's unrelenting faith in the power of the sacred psalms was not just an anchor but a lighthouse that guided him during his turbulent life swings. His faith, a constant companion, allowed him to overcome the insurmountable challenges that threatened to engulf his aspirations. His firm belief gave him the courage to face the challenges head-on and the resilience to keep moving forward, no matter how daunting the circumstances.
His poignant return to St Lucia in 2002 marked a juncture of introspection, allowing Stephen to draw upon the deepest wells of his faith and unyielding determination. In the face of insurmountable obstacles, he found the strength to triumph. Stephen's candid story, coming straight from the heart, is engaging. It is a narrative filled with dialogue, natural conversation, wisdom, and inspiration. It stimulates thought and empathy and celebrates the human spirit's capacity to conquer adversities.
