Paperback. While I'm Living is a raw, heart-deep coming-of-age story set in the Jamaica that exists far from postcards and resorts-inside zinc fences, on bus stops, in board houses, and in the quiet corners where people are just trying to survive another day.At the center of the novel are Nalia, a single mother in Clarendon, and her son, Jaquan. Nalia wakes before sunrise to fight a system that was never built for her-stretching last $500 notes, going hungry so her child can eat, praying over her son every time he steps outside because bullets, hunger, and bad company are always too close. Jaquan is sixteen, bright, and hungry in more ways than one. His school uniform is thin, his lunch money is never enough, but his dreams are big: to escape the cycle of poverty and give his mother the life she deserves.Through their intertwined journeys, the book walks through the daily reality of the poor in Jamaica: - mornings that begin with "Father God, carry mi" instead of comfort - classrooms full of brilliant youth with no guarantee of work - leaders who play while the people pay - mothers breaking quietly under the weight of survival - youth at the edge of gun, corner, or scholarship, deciding who they will becomeEach chapter digs into a different face of struggle-hunger, politics, crime, education without opportunity, prayer as the only currency that doesn't lose value. Yet it's not a story of pity. It's a story of spirit. Little by little, through pressure, shame, sacrifice, and faith, Jaquan moves from "just surviving" to rising: chosen for a scholarship, leaving the lane that raised him, and carrying his mother, his community, and his country inside every step forward.At its core, this book is about: - The invisible cost of poverty on the mind, body, and soul - The fierce, quiet power of Jamaican mothers - Youth caught between corner life and classroom life - The politics of suffering and the resilience of the poor - How destiny can grow out of hunger, prayer, and pure determinationWhile I'm Living is a love letter to the Jamaica nobody writes down, and a tribute to everyone who is still "living while living"-tired, pressured, but still praying, still pushing, still believing that one open door can change everything.

While I'm Living is a raw, heart-deep coming-of-age story set in the Jamaica that exists far from postcards and resorts-inside zinc fences, on bus stops, in board houses, and in the quiet corners where people are just trying to survive another day.
At the center of the novel are Nalia, a single mother in Clarendon, and her son, Jaquan. Nalia wakes before sunrise to fight a system that was never built for her-stretching last $500 notes, going hungry so her child can eat, praying over her son every time he steps outside because bullets, hunger, and bad company are always too close. Jaquan is sixteen, bright, and hungry in more ways than one. His school uniform is thin, his lunch money is never enough, but his dreams are big: to escape the cycle of poverty and give his mother the life she deserves.
Through their intertwined journeys, the book walks through the daily reality of the poor in Jamaica:
- mornings that begin with "Father God, carry mi" instead of comfort
- classrooms full of brilliant youth with no guarantee of work
- leaders who play while the people pay
- mothers breaking quietly under the weight of survival
- youth at the edge of gun, corner, or scholarship, deciding who they will become
Each chapter digs into a different face of struggle-hunger, politics, crime, education without opportunity, prayer as the only currency that doesn't lose value. Yet it's not a story of pity. It's a story of spirit. Little by little, through pressure, shame, sacrifice, and faith, Jaquan moves from "just surviving" to rising: chosen for a scholarship, leaving the lane that raised him, and carrying his mother, his community, and his country inside every step forward.
At its core, this book is about:
- The invisible cost of poverty on the mind, body, and soul
- The fierce, quiet power of Jamaican mothers
- Youth caught between corner life and classroom life
- The politics of suffering and the resilience of the poor
- How destiny can grow out of hunger, prayer, and pure determination
While I'm Living is a love letter to the Jamaica nobody writes down, and a tribute to everyone who is still "living while living"-tired, pressured, but still praying, still pushing, still believing that one open door can change everything.
