Jamerican: The Gift of Poverty is the inspirational true-life story of Sherwin P. Brown, a poor Jamaican boy who grew up barefoot in the jungle to become a top stockbroker in America. Brown''s life is an improbable true-life roller coaster of ups and downs-often humorous, sometimes sad-that cannot be put down. Inspired by his mother''s intellect and his father''s never-say-die work ethic, Brown''s journey is an inspiration to Jamaicans, Americans . . . to anybody who seeks success. Not only did Mr. Brown''s journey start in poverty, it also started in a third-world country. Unlike many other successful immigrants to America, Brown''s success came from sheer hard work-no special tax breaks or other governmental favors. His life is a blueprint for happiness. Jamerican will entertain, inspire, and make you laugh and think. Mr. Brown tells a story that takes place over decades, and he does so in a very easy-to-read and breezy style that''s a pure joy to read! Once you start reading, you cannot put this story down.
