"Read with Jenna"--Jacket.
This stunning story of the author's struggle to break free of her strict Rastafarian upbringing ruled by a father whose rigid beliefs, rage and paranoia led to violence shows how found her own power and provides a unique glimpse into a rarefied world we know little about.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Powerful and informative submitted by Eve Kausch on July 4, 2025, 8:09am I did not know much about Rastafarianism before reading this book. I learned a lot, although much of it was hard to listen to (I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by the author - it's great!). This book has content warnings for child abuse, pregnancy loss/infertility, and infidelity. The writing is beautiful, though - the author is a poet and it shows.
