A Child in Paradise by LL Starr

A Child in Paradise is an uplifting narrative. It is a journal of life that takes the reader to a place of acceptance and rejection, a place of diverse culture and traditions in a setting of exceptional beauty. It traces the family ties of four generations of women separated in time and space. They dealt with strong religious conservatism that compelled them, in their own way, to liberate themselves from the shame of illegitimacy. The bits and pieces of truth that trickled down through the generations is a consolation but, ultimately and unfortunately, many of the answers that were sought are forever buried in the past.
