Redemption Songs

By Lynda Edwards

After the death of her American husband, Josephine Myers Blakely has moved back to Jamaica, the land of her birth. Married at nineteen and widowed at forty, Jo is adrift in a sea of grief and loss. A chance meeting with a shadowy family member sets her on a path to help her family atone for generations of sin...or perish with them in the fire of their own destruction. She must find the strength to walk between two worlds, reconciling them, not only for her family’s survival but for hers as well.

Redemption Songs is a complex and compelling distillation of imagination and experience, merged with the author’s love of her birthplace. As entertaining as this book is to read, it is a modern-day tome with a deeper message of love, loss and redemption that makes it a worthy read.
