The Memoir That Makes You Go Mmm
0$25.00Mckenzie-Morgan has an odd fascination, and from this she mastered a skill that involves manipulating most of her sentences with her favorite consonant. As you read her memoir, for multiple reasons (awed, doubtful, meditative and maybe because you can taste scrumptious food in your mind), you will certainly go mmm. There are the matters of: a manifestation or two, mouth-watering menus, memory verses, a misfit, middle-school moments and mix-ups, and the most monumental matter that is so improbable, it’s called a miracle. Grab a dictionary, bookmark it right in the middle and get to know this quirky, original, delightful character. A Bahamian teenager who is oddly outstanding, and circumvents her troubles with optimism, faith, and a myriad of lofty M words that guarantees to improve all readers’ vocabulary.

The Red Riding Hoodie Thru Pinewood
0$20.00Eager and anxious but fully up for the challenge, Thatcher arrives on the island after earning a spot at a prestigious high school for top achievers and elite athletes. He comes from a serene, postcard-esque settlement that is everything the capital city is not—clean and safe.
It takes a few miracles and an island-wide fundraising effort for him and his mom to move to Nassau. They think they have everything covered; his mom always says, “We have everything covered in prayer.” But if you’re unaware of certain dangers, you can’t rebuke or pray them away. This becomes clear during his ride on the #21 jitney, which takes him through Pinewood. He misguidedly thinks that covering himself with a hoodie will be enough to safeguard him.

The Stepmother, Little Grace and the Fig Tree
0$15.00Cinderella’s, Hansel and Gretel’s, and Snow White’s stepmothers may have had a Bahamian descendant, and maybe this is her story. This story holds the probable reason those stepmothers were so unloving towards the daughters they inherited through marriage…the reason that darkened their hearts and had them all hating and hurting a sweet innocent child.
A one-hundred-year old Bahamian tale of the Pineapple Prince, a new bride, a fair daughter, and a fig tree – without enchantment or magic – repeats the truth that all good stories tell about a pure heart and prevailing.

The Winterborn Fix
0$25.00THIS STORY HAS UNCOMMON WORDS. Have no fear, compliments of the author, the definitions or synonyms follow.
The problem in this story is that there are two celebrations, one always outshines the other, leaving Bea-Elizabella in the shadow. The offshoot, that is the result, is a horrid wintry woe that may likely bring about the meltdown of all meltdowns that is akin [similar] to the arcane [mysterious and difficult to understand] Inuit tantrum.
The rogues [villains] are family and friends’ forgetfulness.
The hopeful problem-solver is Bea-Elizabella’s unusual hobby that involves the study of rare words. Can select synonym stop something sorrowful, somewhat sinister and sub-zero. Will she, an up-and-coming, word connoisseur [expert], find a string of fitting words to shine a light on this Winterborn wretchedness and get rid of a very chilly situation?
