The Author
I am a Jamaican woman with many stories to tell. The book is hardly an inch by inch commentary of my life, but instead contains snippets of important events that have taken me through the fire and have added colour and dimensions to an ordinary life. I have been programmed for success, and this has helped me to weather in-credible lows and to rise decidedly to stake my claim on my goals and desires. With God at my centre, nothing can stop me now. I came into this world wanting to make a difference. Like you, I am still in process. This book is not by accident for I know there are kindred hearts wishing to hear my stories as I am prepared to open my heart to share with them. So, I am wishing through a joining of spirits that inspiration will flow to you, my reader, as you share my journey to the comfort zone in, ‘The Tender Side of Me.’

Dear Mr. Jesus

All children are precious. They are gifts to the world, the torch bearers of future generations. The quality of life they receive, will determine the quality of life they will experience later. They are inextricably linked not only to Jamaica’s future but also the world’s future. There is stark difference in the quality of lives of Jamaica’s children. Many are from stable families, some from wealthy homes and who are able to enjoy the joys of childhood and access opportunities for a brighter future. Yet, like world statistics, one in four of Jamaica’s children lives in abject poverty. Many live feral lives; existing under degrading human conditions, and are exposed to daily atrocities, violence, hurt and pain. Poverty is at the root of their existence. Much is being done to help our children; still, much more needs to be done. It is out of concern for the plight of our children that birthed ‘Dear Mr. Jesus,’ a simple and beautiful book. See how Jamaica fears in meeting the guidelines of the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child to which the country became a signatory in 1991.

Listen as Jamaica’s children speak about their realities….in prayers.
