Novah
Leaving behind the small, sun-soaked island of Jamaica, Novah-Lee Brown boarded her flight to Miami with a heart full of hope and a suitcase packed with more than just clothes. The weight of her past-memories of her mother's death and the suffocating shadows of grief-had followed her for years, pulling her deeper into herself. She craved a fresh start, a chance to breathe again, and she believed the vibrant streets of Florida's big city might offer the escape she desperately needed. But Miami wasn't the sanctuary she had envisioned. The city, with its endless motion and noise, overwhelmed her. She found herself navigating uncharted waters, caught between the chaos of her new environment and the lingering pain she'd tried to leave behind. Yet, even amidst the struggles, Novah-Lee couldn't help but wonder if, somewhere in this unfamiliar world, she might finally find the connection and love she'd been yearning for-a chance to begin again, not by forgetting her past, but by building something new. ****Editing, Changing plot and Characters***

How we made it in South Africa
I invite you to share in our journey. I started writing this book 13 May 2008 It takes you through our whole experience of rising up and prospering in South Africa - even under a racist ANC government. I've written this book as an inspiration, that even in the face of huge adversity, you can come out on the other side and make it. However, my wish for you is not to only "make it" - but live your best life. I invite you to come on this journey with us. It was sometimes an emotional rollercoaster with many trials and tribulations, but the end result was worth it. This book is very special and unique in the sense that it was started and written while I was at the lowest point in my life with no salvation in sight... It's wasn't written in hindsight or after the fact. It started with hope, a dream, a promise. You will see when you start going through these pages - If I could make it, surely you can. The book also has a public Facebook page "How we made it in South Africa" with loads of pictures and videos of us and our adventures. You're most welcome to visit the page and say hi. Enjoy your journey.Complete
