Sixteen-year-old Zhara Sinclair has lived her entire life in the quiet hills of Richmond Hill, St. Mary, raised by her grandmother, the wise and mysterious Mama Vi. But when Mama Vi falls gravely ill and leaves behind a letter filled with secrets, Zhara is thrust into a journey that unearths hidden truths about her family, her roots, and herself.
As whispers of the past begin to rise-secrets buried in red dirt, names never spoken, and the mystery of her missing mother-Zhara must navigate a world of tradition, spirituality, betrayal, and belonging. With the help of her quiet friend Prince, a notebook full of dreams, and an unexpected journey to Kingston and beyond, Zhara discovers that identity is more than blood-it's history, heritage, and heart.
