<span style='font-size: 11pt'>From Kingston, Jamaica to England - An Inspirational True Life Story </span>
Fascinating family saga, a very moving book about an inspirational personal life, which has an epic feel about it from Jamaica to England amidst World War II.
"Olga - A Daughter's Tale" is story of one woman’s inspirational life.
Marie-Thérèse Browne, the author, realized as her mother lay seriously ill in hospital in Brighton, England in 1994 that had she died so too would Marie’s chance of finding out about her mother’s past, her family in Jamaica and, of particular importance to Marie, who her father was. All information her mother had resolutely refused to share with her. So she resolved to find out for herself.
Marie discovered her mother’s real name was Olga Browney, born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica - one of eleven children from a close-knit, coloured Catholic family. A kind, naïve and gentle girl, Olga arrived in London in 1939 to stay with a malevolent, alcoholic aunt and intending to remain for only six months. However, world events, personal tragedy and malicious intent all combined to prevent her from returning home to Kingston.
“Olga – A Daughter’s Tale” is a true story about the cruelty, revenge and jealousy inflicted on an innocent young woman and her moral courage, dignity, resilience and, in particular, love. It is the story of a remarkable woman who, because of circumstances, made a choice, which resulted in her losing contact with her beloved family in Jamaica. That is, until nearly half a century later, when her past caught up with her.
