Beyond Abuse penned by Fay Ferguson is a biographical fiction of Marcella March, a sixth generation Jamaican. She was sent to Colombia, South America to live with the extended family. Marcella stayed for five years in Colombia and she was unhappy there.
Marcella wanted to attend a school of higher learning but because of lack of money, she took a teaching job. At St Catherine, Marcella didn’t have the freedom to teach students what she wanted to teach. So, she resigned and took a new job at Gregory Park Public School. After earning money, Marcella wanted to learn more and she felt independent. Marcella got to know about the slavery and her ancestors. She dug into the topic to find out more about it. After five unproductive years in Colombia, Marcella was happy to return to Jamaica.
Biographical fiction fans should go ahead with this book. I am glad to read Marcella’s story. The story kept me on edge as throughout the book, I was curious to know what will happen next in Marcella’s life. Read this book to know how Marcella rises above her family’s painful past and become a resilient woman. The book is written well and I am glad to get my hands on it.
