    About this ebook

    Through the Hibiscus Hedge tells of children who veer off course into sticky situations and amuse themselves by pushing boundaries, and the adults who outwit and surprise them. Set in the beautiful Jamaican countryside where trees grow in all shades of green, roosters crow fiercely and youngsters can fly over mountain ranges, this collection of short stories by Paulette A. Ramsay is woven together by themes of discovery, loss and the coming-of-age. Written in lyrical prose, Through the Hibiscus Hedge affirms the personhood of children that is observed in their refreshing curiosity and boldness.
