Jada Longbridge, the only daughter born to a teenaged peasant girl,
Amelia, and the older but dashing Jake Longbridge, a married father
of six and a member of the declining white Jamaican plantocracy.
Jada grew up with a protective mother who kept her sheltered. Jada
wore an air of superiority. At an early age, her mother instilled
in her that she was special, different, and better than those in
the peasant class community in which they lived. Privy to a tidy
inheritance, left by Jake Longbridge for his illegitimate daughter,
Amelia sent Jada away to charm school where she was taught singing,
deportment, and fancy sewing. Jada was being prepared for her
station in life; her mother had considered her 'middle class' and
was set on marrying her off to the right man. On holidays, Jada
would come home. It was on one of these trips home that Warren, a
local village boy, had seduced the lovely Jada. Pregnant, for a
poor village boy, while betrothed to Dr. Jordan Willoughby who
lived in the prestigious Cumberland suburbs, many miles away,
Jada's world had come crashing. For 69 years Jada's heart had throb
for someone else, she was hurting deep inside but she had concealed
the hurt. Now gravely ill and lying in a long-term care facility,
she revealed it to her middle-aged children. But will they believe
her - after all they had only known a loving father who was no
longer around to defend himself. Had she risk losing her children
at a time when she needed them most?

The Tongue: An Evil Master.A Good Servant -wholly inspired by a
family's misery brought on by the tumor called gossip and later
observations at a church considered 'Pentecostal-based'. The author
focused on the source of the cancer and the antidote, found in the
Word of God. It is the author's hope that everyone who reads this

dissension in the life of their fellow man.
