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", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/899/159/9798991590983_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "27.00", "online_price" : "27.00", "our_price" : "27.00", "club_price" : "27.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
