Mrs. Essie Brown was having the time of her life. She was now an honorable matriculated New York resident in New York City, the ultimate big city. However, she never forgets her striving family, which was now dispersed all over the globe. This story concentrates exclusively on Essie's (the main character from The Non-Silence of the LAMB) adulthood years. Unlike The Non-Silence of the LAMB, it doesn't show the relationships with her children's fathers. What it does show is how her children grew up to be responsible business owners and striving members of their society. Essie enjoys visiting them regularly as they were settled all around the world. However, their lives were not all hunky dory. Each child's life carries its own drama and nail-biting events that thrust Essie in the midst of them all. Many of these involved immigration issues and the parity of right and wrong in various sibling rivalries. Essie is forced to take sides and face the consequences of the others' wrath.

The Non-Silence of the LAMB was edited and adjusted to adapt to a youth audience. Excerpt; It was rare for an item not to fit. However, when that did happen, there was pandemonium as trade-offs occurred among the family. It appeared like the scene in the story of Cinderella where the stepsisters forced their too-big feet into the tiny glass slipper brought by the prince. After the opening of the barrel, or what was humorously perceived as the opening ceremony, there was the trade show. Everyone tried on their clothes and shoes to see if they fit and to see what they could profitably trade for another item.

No Hannibal Lecter here. Just a single mother and her animalistic raging passion with a few quid pro quos as she grippingly strives for survival for herself and her eight children. Men in Essie's world are after only one thing, and she is glad to give it to them--but only with a little quid pro quo to support her and her growing brood. Mark McLaughlin Essie, an orphan child, had an awful abusive family in the countryside of Jamaica. She was always down on her luck with men. After eight children with none of their fathers around, she came close to giving up. She migrated to the USA which made her wanting to live once again. However, getting here was another story. That was when all of the drama began. Excerpt: Gena was ahead of the game. She knew that if anything went wrong, she would have to quickly separate herself from the pack and bail out. That was exactly what she did. As soon as her papers were processed, she did not linger. She calmly walked by Bunny and Lela, who were still being questioned. Gena held her head straight as if she didn't know them and had no part in other people's affairs. As the old Jamaican saying goes, it was like "when chicken a pass by dentist office," meaning, since chickens have no teeth, they have no concern with dentists, and therefore, they hold their heads up high with pride when passing by a dental office because they have no reason to care. Gena held on tightly to little Faith's hand and headed straight out through the doors of the airport. She took a quick glance back just before she disappeared through the main doorway, and disappointment slapped her squarely in the face. She saw that the immigration officer was leading Bunny and Lela away to a special room. She noticed the sad looks on their faces. They were as disappointed as the inarguable favorite to win; the Brazilian team, when they got surprisingly knocked out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The Brazilian team was knocked out by the Netherlands team in the stage-two round of the sixteen knock-out phase. Gena walked away feeling as sad as Maradona, the famous one-time soccer player and now coach of the Argentinean team. He stood on the sidelines of the same 2010 FIFA quarter finals and watched his team get brutally beat down by Germany, four goals to zero. Book Review by CN Weekly News; Dr. Luke A. M. Brown (the Lamb) has succeeded in writing a very interesting and entertaining book, focusing on a mother's relentless love in a community adjacent to Jamaica's second city, Montego Bay. The story's about the pretty, shapely, country girl, Essie, who escaped life with an abusive family to live in Montego Bay. There, as a result of several failed romantic relationships, the young girl bears eight children for multiple men but matures to a strong, caring mother. Essie meanders through her relationships with hope then despair, as again and again she is abandoned after bearing a child. But Essie presses on excelling as a chef, acquiring a house, and skillfully juggling scarce funds to cloth, feed and school her children. As adults, the children succeed in making much of their lives, building on the foundation of their mother's love. Her eldest child and daughter, Gina, manages to get to the U.S., via the Bahamas, becomes a U.S. citizens and helped most of her siblings and her mother to migrate. One of her children, Leonard, whose life seems remarkably familiar to the author, becomes a Doctor of Pharmacy, the core of Essie's pride. Essie grows old, sick and dies in the U.S., and her body is returned to Jamaica for burial where Leonard offers a moving eulogy. But the remarkable funeral is ruined when one of Essie's sons who despised her because she left him with his father, who Essie eventually marries, in the Jamaican countryside, sparked a major disturbance at the graveside over the reading of the will. The author gives an in-depth account of the Jamaican culture and folklore.

A "rolling calf" is a ghost that often appears in the form of an animal. Most people who had close encounters reported that they first heard or detected the rolling calves by their loud chiming and rather unnerving clanking noise. This familiar sound was made by the long chain that they dragged along behind them. They have large red eyes like a dragon's. Some even said that they could breathe fire through their mouths. Some said that the rolling calves were the spirits of evil butchers who had been cruel and mean when they were alive. The best way, they said, to get away from these monstrous beast was to drop various things on the ground. This storybook was written in an exciting island-style manner. It is about Essie's kids on the island of Jamaica and their fourth scary and unusual encounter with a rolling calf. This is number four of a five part series. It is targeted for children ages six and upwards. Clarion Review JUVENILE FICTION Mystery stories for kids have changed dramatically in the last few decades.

Excerpt: The big duel was about to begin. The screaming of the crowd came to a sudden halt. The whole arena was quiet. Karl looked up towards the crowd one last time. He glimpsed his family standing in the best sitting area. He could feel his heart pounding as he thought to himself, I have to make my family proud. This was his big opportunity to prove to Essie that he was a special kid. "Get set," the referee said. The two finalist of the two hundred meter race raised their backs up in the air while still pressing their hands down on the ground. They were now in a 'get-set' position waiting for the word 'go.

Clarion Review JUVENILE FICTION Essie's Kids and the Rolling Calf---3 Luke Brown CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 978-1-4565-7696-7 Mystery stories for kids have changed dramatically in the last few decades. Characters like Encyclopedia Brown and The Boxcar Children have been replaced by wizards, vampires, werewolves, and zombies. Innocent sleuthing of creepy houses has been replaced by elaborate battles with powerful supernatural figures. That's what makes a ghost series like Essie's Kids & The Rolling Calf stand apart from other children's series. Husband and wife authors Luke Brown and Berthalicia Fonseca-Brown have created a collection of books that lets kids be ... well ... kids facing ghostly circumstances. In this, the third installment, Essie's children-Gena, Betty, Myrtle, Junior, Leonard, and Karl-are enjoying a wonderful vacation and making friends with neighboring kids in the countryside around Clear Mount, Jamaica. But behind the idyllic background, a ghost roams the land-something called a "rolling calf," an unnerving, clanking ghost with red eyes. Karl can't shake the feeling that the rolling calf is after him in particular. After a terrible nightmare, he knows nothing will change until he faces that ghost himself. Essie's Kids is refreshing in that it has a spooky premise, but feels more like The Hardy Boys than Harry Potter. Even while Karl knows he must face an unknown and possibly dangerous adversary, he is surrounded by a family that cares for him. This is a world where kids go five miles to the perfect place to swim or girls spend the day jumping rope. When the adventure does get going, the characters never lose the camaraderie of friends, the touchstone of solid parents, or the importance of a lesson learned. Karl's world is such a pleasant one that many readers may long to see more. While we read about squeaky floors as Karl walks and girls playing hopscotch on squares drawn in dirt roads, the Browns do not provide enough description of the setting. Essie's Kids has many opportunities to show us Jamaica from a child's eyes-the homey bungalow where the family stays, the green and rolling countryside, or the clear, sun-freckled waters of the nearby river. These opportunities to give readers vivid images are longingly missed. The lack of description may be by design. The text is laid out with no illustrations and includes an area at the back for children to cultivate their imagination by drawing their own images. It's a nice touch in a book that's written with a simplicity that will appeal to younger readers, but that has the length to attract older kids. Essie's Kids is personal and heartfelt, and each book in the series contains a moral. In this installment, Essie tells her kids to be positive in the face of adversity. This kind of message shows that it doesn't matter if you're facing down a rolling calf, He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, or a bully in a school yard. Being positive is a universal lesson that can improve the lives of children-and maybe even that of some adults. Katerie Prior

He could feel the warm liquid dripping down his legs as it made a stream of puddle around his feet. This could not be happening. He was in a one-on-one situation with a real rolling calf. He could not believe his ears. He could not believe his eyes. As a matter of a fact, he could not believe any of his five senses anymore. The only thing Karl could believe in was his feet. He turned around and took off for his dear life. He ran so fast that he was striding at top speed when it dawned on him that he had passed his house long before and was now heading to no man's land.

'When it dawned on Karl that his pursuer was most likely to be a rolling calf, he really started running as if he hadn't been running before. He forgot about his damaged toe. He forgot about running and hopping. He was now running full, top speed, Carl Lewis or Asafa Powell style. He was all-out straight sprinting. He shifted into sixth gear and took off blazing the trail for his dear life. Neither Usain Bolt nor Michael Johnson nor any other athlete or track and field star could have kept up with Karl that night. He was sure that he must have broken some kind of world record. He was seriously on the verge of flying as he could feel the wind rushing by him like a turbulent storm.' Chapter 5, page 26 of Essie's Kids and the Rolling Calf.

They jumped, splashed, dove, and swam in the ocean until their weary souls filled with satisfaction.
