It'S Of No Consequence

Three generations of women born from the same ancestral line; yet separated by vastly different and inequitable life experiences. Beverley, the youngest, was raised in the U.S. during the late 40Æs and 50Æs in a relatively stable middle-class home. She never knew abandonment or isolation. ... Daphne grew up during the 20Æs and 30Æs in Kingston, Jamaica and knew poverty and anger well. Abandoned by her mother Phyllis, she was robbed of her childhood. Her earliest memories were filled with images of her Aunt screaming at her for being a burden. ... In stark contrast, Phyllis grew up at the turn of the 20th century in Jamaica, BWI. She attended the best boarding schools, rode in the finest horse carriages, grew up with house servants and ate meals served on bone china prepared by the familyÆs cook. The socio-economic contrast of their lives was startling but fell second to PhyllisÆ failure to love her child. Over the years, the responsibility fell upon Beverley to help her grandmother and support her mother through a lifetime of emotional omissions. Ironically, it was Phyllis whose life would come full circle. After a generation of her abandonment and neglect of her child, Phyllis ultimately needed the help and support of both her daughter and granddaughter. The work is poignant and emotionally telling with graphic visualizations of lifeÆs crushing blows--Page [4] of cover.
