Peta-Gaye Nash

Told Ya! Stories

This collection of stories are about the interactions of immigrants from the Caribbean with life in Canada. They are about things that surprise or confuse the author Peta Gaye-Nash. She explains; "It is how each of us sees life through the peculiar lens of our own experiences and environment, so that when we come together, our behaviours and motivations reflect the uniqueness of who we are - our gender, socio-economic background, culture, religious beliefs and so on. "Swinging seamlessly between the slapstick and tragic in each life, these stories traverse the serendipitous circumstances of poverty that govern the harsh landscape of "paradise".
