Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caryl’s Closet is the story of a young Guyanese-American immigrant, June Wood Agamah, coming of age in a changing society. Her story is set amidst the backdrop of a new political system that threatens the Guyanese way of life.
It unfolds as she grapples with the immigration systems of Guyana and Barbados in her search for prosperity. Her life changes with the reality of a heart-stopping loss that propels her on her journey to America. Her quest is fraught with stories of what happens to minorities who pay the cost of social assimilation and academic success. This focus and sacrifice robs her children of the knowledge of who she really is. June is unaware of her need to open her heart. Written treasures, tucked away in her closet are unearthed and become the catalyst for Caryl’s Closet.
