About this ebook

A collection of untold true stories of the heart and soul of Jocelyne Desfosses.This is a revelatory look inside the journey of eight generations of families' surviving colonialism detailing the daily life and major events of the people, free and slaves, expanding nearly 300 years. The stories begin on the island of Mauritius. (Ile de France) beset by troubles from the time man set foot there. Rival nations fought to control this perfect spot for port of call in the Indian Ocean.

The intimate history of the family is steeped in rivalry, jealousy, retaliation and a myriad of toxic relationships carry over from one generation to the next generation. Deadly vengeance enrobed with fierce anger and grudges awaited the offender, the living symbol of irresolvable conflict, discord, division, and loss.

Jocelyne escapes from the clutches of this dark world. She finds hope and joy once again, with a renewed faith while living in the modern American culture of the 21st century.

A remarkable praying mother is at the heart of this faith connection. After the loss of her mother in death in 2017, her faith and courage were tested, plunging Jocelyne into a whirlwind of suspicion, betrayal, deceit, and a torrent of mystery.

This journey takes you from the exploitation of the forebears of the 18th century to emotional and spiritual freedom and victory in the 21st century.
