Scarlet Birthright: What They Left Behind
A Summer of Passion. A Lifetime of Consequences.
When free-spirited Joromi Enoch falls hard for a mesmerizing dancer on a humid 1969 night in Trinidad, their brief but fiery affair ignites everything he’s ever known. Yet under his father’s harsh gaze and faced with an unexpected pregnancy-Joromi abandons the woman he loves and flees to America, leaving behind his unborn daughter.
Decades later, in Port of Spain, that daughter, Trisha, grows up sheltered by grandparents who refuse to let her feel unwanted. Still, questions of identity, longing, and the heartbreak of her father’s absence shape every choice she makes. Torn between following her own fierce desires and living a life of caution, Trisha’s journey echoes her parents’ fateful decisions and dares to rewrite their legacy.
From the sizzling backyards of 1960s Trinidad to the punishing winters of 1980s New York City, Scarlet Birthright brilliantly contrasts two worlds, uniting them through the bonds of family, the ghosts of the past, and an unbreakable pull toward home.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Scarlet Birthright: What They Left BehindAward-Winning Standalone Fiction Novella'A moving family saga . about fractured family relationships and the healing power of love.'- Foreword Reviews- Winner: Independent Author Network Book of the Year Award- Winner: NYC Big Book Award, Multicultural Fiction- First Place: International Firebird Book Awards, Multicultural Fiction- Winner: Literary Titan Gold Book Award, FictionWhat happens when a father's final words become a daughter's first act of release Set between Trinidad and New York from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, Scarlet Birthright traces the lasting consequences of one man's decision to leave. Joromi, a young DJ chasing opportunity abroad, believes distance will protect everyone involved. Instead, his absence shapes the lives of the women left behind, including a daughter he never claims.Told through the intertwined perspectives of Joromi, Margaret, and Trisha, the novel examines how silence becomes inheritance, how love coexists with harm, and how reckoning arrives long after the moment of choice. The story moves from the social vibrancy of Trinidad's fetes to the restrained interiors of immigrant life in New York, capturing the emotional cost of migration, respectability, and deferred responsibility.Both intimate and expansive, Scarlet Birthright explores family fracture without simplification and healing without easy resolution. It is a novel about legacy, accountability, and the courage required to interrupt what has been passed down.'A raw, emotional novella . messy, real, and haunting in the best way.' - Literary Titan, Starred Review.
