About this ebook

THE JAMERICAN, by J.J. Gumbs, is a novel about an American Christian living in a Jamaican subculture in NYC. The Jamerican reveals how faith and culture, though we want them sometimes to be mutually exclusive, are really mixed into one thing that forms the principle ingredient of some people's lives. According to one Amazon.com reviewer, "Sometimes what we in our 'societal constraints' find hard to express, has been beautifully manuscripted for us."

The protagonist, Theresa Brown, was quite happy with her life. She was out of a disastrous marriage, was about to celebrate five years in the magazine publishing business, and was enjoying a closer relationship with her Creator. The last thing on her mind was meeting and falling in love with Anthony Gordon. A turn of events, in which she almost lost a dear friend to a car accident, brought her face to face with Anthony's true self, or did it?

The Jamerican is a "good read" according to another reviewer on Barnesandnoble.com
