What Is The Color Of Madness?

This traumatic real life story begins in the Island of Trinidad in 1972, when two little girls witness the violent and senseless murder of their mother. What happens to the family of seven motherless children over the years will shake you to the core. Slowly and ever so carefully the author painstakingly takes us on a journey into her personal life and into the lives of her six siblings. As the years unfold, she and her three brothers and sisters must face the storms and perils of life without the love and security of their mother. She is forced to deal with issues such as the repeated attempted rape by her older brother, the heartbreaking suicide of her other brother, her sister's brutal rape, trauma, drug abuse, homelessness. Each character encounters real pain and real life situations and deals with his or her trauma in a unique way. Some find forgiveness, healing, and closure by creating their own coping mechanism while others do not.
