Last March by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
Memories of My Jamaican Mother traces the life of a remarkable woman, Phyliss Blake-Reid. Born and raised in the cool hills of Manchester, she later moved to Kingston in search of better economic prospects. There, she found her husband and started her family. Her life may not have been one with golden opportunities but she was able to tun har han mek fashion. A God-fearing and strong black woman, Mrs. Blake-Reid was an inspiration to all who knew her, especially her children. She has instilled moral principles that now govern the lives of the loved ones she has left behind. This is a fitting tribute to her inspirational life from one of her daughters, Doreen Patricia Reid.
