About the one book she will choose from a selection I love reading, especially books by urban authors. My favorite book is “The Book of Negroes” by Lawrence Hill. I love it because it is a moving story about a woman who fights to overcome every obstacle sent her way. About her fond memories of growing up in Dominica Growing up in Dominica is a very unique experience. My fondest memories were spending time with my Grandmother, Veronica Emmanuel. When I spent time with her, there was no television to watch, nor internet. Those times fostered my love for reading and love of the outdoors. There is so much to love about growing up in Dominica, going to the beach or river any time you want to. Breathing in the clean, fresh air. Being surrounded by warm and friendly people. Being a Dominican is a wonderful thing!
