This is the story of a search for the causes of a father's early
death and the consequences for his children. A Jamaican immigrant
falls from a window to his death, leaving a wife and four young
children grieving and poor in a Chicago slum. Why? When he begins
high school the mother asks the youngest son to study the letters
and papers his father left behind. He discovers that his father
committed suicide but holds this secret for many years. He also
uncovers the story of his father's twenty-year unsuccessful
struggle to obtain a legacy his father left him in Jamaica. The son
puts the fi les aside but retrieves them twenty years later and
travels to Jamaica where he fi nds relatives and uncovers more
family secrets. The story that unfolds reaches back to the middle
of the nineteenth century and a Native American reservation. The
impact of each generation on the next holds the answer to the
question "Why?"
