A vivid portrait narrated by its central figure, Barbara Samuels. A polymath, artist, Jamaican immigrant in the United Kingdom, and mother of Morgan Quaintance. Among family albums and drawings from her youth, accounts of the early years of the diasporic experience in an inhospitable London society emerge, and in an intimate tone, stories of personal liberation and artistic self-realization are recalled.
