A twentieth-anniversary edition of Floella Benjamin's classic
memoir. Includes a new foreword by the author and some additional
historical information. Beautifully illustrated by Michael Frith.
Floella Benjamin was just a young girl when she, her sister and two
brothers arrived in England in 1960 to join their parents, whom
they had not seen for fifteen months. They had left the island
paradise of Trinidad to make a new home in London - part of a whole
generation of West Indians, known as the Windrush generation, who
were encouraged to move to Britain and help rebuild the country
after the Second World War. Reunited with their mother, Floella was
too overwhelmed at first to care about the cold weather and the
noise and dirt from the traffic. But, as her new life began, she
was shocked and distressed by the rejection she experienced. She
soon realized that the only way to survive was to work twice as
hard and be twice as good as anyone else. This inspirational story
is a powerful reminder that courage and determination can overcome
adversity.
