ABOUT THE BOOK
"For every woman who flew when she thought she couldn't."
by Jonquille
A raw and unflinching memoir, Nothing But Grace follows Jonquille through ten years inside a marriage that slowly stripped away her identity, her voice, and her sense of self. From the intoxicating courtship to the gilded cage of paradise, from collapse to a shattering breaking point, and finally into the fierce, quiet power of becoming.
Written in the voices of the Caribbean, Verdancian Creole, Sapphire Bay Patois, and Caribbean English this is a story about what it means to reclaim yourself, your grace, and your right to fly.
The Journey Inside
"De bird nah apologize fuh tekkin flight."
The bird doesn't apologize for taking flight. — Betha
