Carnival of Love: A Tale of a Bahamian Family is a literary memoir that explores the meaning of love and family within a broken home. Set in the Bahamas, the story is told through the eyes of Maria Helix, one of nine children growing up in a stable and caring environment. With the sudden and unexpected dissolution of her parents' marriage, Maria is forced to let go of her idealized past and confront new realities of loss, displacement and economic instability. Through honest depiction, humor and hard-won wisdom, Maria reveals a complex picture of familial bonds sometimes marked by conflict. Moreover, her tale identifies and proves love to be the most compelling force needed to piece together what is left of a "perfect" family.

Shallow Water: a short history of where I'm from is a tribute collection of poems that not only explores and celebrates identity and nation but challenges the same as well. Although the collection represents a single outlook regarding the island nation of The Bahamas, the work seeks to convey a unifying essence that permeates land, culture, and people.
