2003 Moon on a Rainbow Shawl
by Errol John

This is 1950s Caribbean island life, where the sun beats down and the music beats on, where life is poor and gossip rich. Ephraim dreams of a fresh life in Liverpool, but Rosa has a reason for him to stay; Charlie means well, but it is Sophia who works hard to provide for their children’s future. A theft in Old Mac’s shop puts them all under suspicion. These are days that will change all their lives forever.
