In Scarlet Birthright: What They Left Behind, a summer romance in 1969-Port of Spain sparks a multi-generational tale. Nineteen-year-old DJ Joromi Enoch encounters a free-spirited woman at one of his parties. Their fleeting romance culminates in decisions that echo for years. Rather than confront fatherhood, Joromi escapes to America, leaving his daughter Trisha to be raised by his parents as he seeks a new life with a "proper" wife.
Years later, as Trisha reaches adulthood in Trinidad, she faces her own journey in love while grappling with her father's absence. With vibrant characters and prose that flows like calypso and soca rhythms, James explores how love and fear’s patterns reverberate through generations and what it takes to break free from them. Ultimately, this story centers on making choices that differ from those who birthed us into the world.
