My Mother's Apprentice: A Sequel

by Diana L McDonough

Overview

My Mother’s Apprentice is the sequel to Stuck in the Onesies.“ It’s the story of the daughters, Ginger and Karen, who grew up as close as sisters. Ginger chases her dream to Jamaica, but Karen goes no further than her own backyard.

The story transports you to the 1970s when Ginger becomes a star during the reggae revolution. She discovers what she fled to Jamaica to escape, followed her. The ghost of her past threatens to become her future.

Karen is an aspiring author and travels to Jamaica to write her manuscript. She uncovers Ginger’s double life and tries to help her lifelong sister-from-another-mother, but finds that addiction and the ghost that has captured her imagination can have a stronger hold than friendship.

The reader is capitvated and enthralled as two friends, Ginger and Karen, strengthen one another through love and challenges. The author creates an amazing vision throughout the book with well-crafted descriptions of characters and scenery throughout the Jamaican culture." Karen Thompson

"Recently read My Mother's Apprentice...really enjoyed the continuing adventures of Karen, Lee and Ginger that began in SITO. The book drew me right into the lives of these friends. It made me laugh and cry, proud and disappointed as their lives were challenged by the choices they each made. A wonderful read!!! Looking forward to more publications from Ms. McDonough." Deb Lyman
