A timely story of illegal immigration, A Daughter of Nature Isle traces the troubled journey of a young woman from the eastern Caribbean island of my beloved country as she seeks a better life for herself and her children. In this poignant memoir of courage, tenacity, and a stubborn conviction that we can all achieve our dreams if we try hard enough, author Rosalie Cookie takes us to exotic Caribbean islands, giving us an insiders view of life in a paradise wracked with poverty. After illegally immigrating to Canada, she lands in a shelter to have her second child and finds herself in an abusive marriage.
