Hurricane Summer

Hurricane Summer tells the story of Tilla, a young Jamaican-Canadian woman who experiences a summer of growth and devastation the year she turns 18. Tilla has spent her entire life trying to make her father love her, but every six months, he leaves their family and returns to his original home in Jamaica. When Tilla’s mother tells her she’ll be spending the summer with her estranged father on the island, Tilla dreads the idea of seeing him again, but longs to discover what life in Jamaica has always held for him. In an unexpected turn of events, Tilla is forced to face the storm that unravels in her own life as she learns about the dark secrets that lie beyond the veil of paradise—all in the midst of an impending hurricane.
