Synopsis

Scarlet Birthright is an award-winning novella praised for its raw, emotional depiction of love, abandonment, regret, and redemption.

What if your father's dying words became the catalyst for your journey towards freedom? Set amidst the colorful backdrop of the Caribbean, "Scarlet Birthright: What They Left Behind" is a captivating tale of passion, inheritance, and the courage to break away from the patterns of the past.

"Scarlet Birthright is a raw, emotional novella about love, abandonment, regret, and redemption. Set between Trinidad and New York from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, it tells the story of Joromi, a young DJ whose summer romance leads to heartbreak, a hidden daughter, and lifelong consequences. Across shifting seasons and continents, James stitches together the lives of Joromi, Margaret, Trisha, and their families, weaving a tale about choices that echo through generations. It’s messy, real, and haunting in the best way." Literary Titan Starred Review.

From the vibrant fetes of 1969 Trinidad to the quiet revelations of 1991, Scarlet Birthright weaves a spellbinding tale of passion, fear, and courage that breaks generational patterns. With prose that pulses with delightful rhythms and characters that breathe with authentic life, James masterfully explores how:

• Love can be both destructive and healing across generations
• Parents' silences shape their children's questions
• The bravest act may be choosing differently than those who came before us

"A stunning saga... James writes with a voice so authentic you can almost hear the steel pan and taste the sorrel."

From the humble author of "Scarlet Yearnings: Stories of Love and Desire," Scarlet Ibis James.

★ Scarlet Birthright is a story for anyone who knows that love isn’t always enough, that choices leave scars, and that healing takes more than just time; it takes courage.
