    About this ebook

    ‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home. – Amazing Grace


    In the heat of the Caribbean sun and to the familiar sound of gospel hymns, the Gillard family prepares for the funeral of their mother Grace. Tensions ignite as Josh arrives in Barbados after a long absence, and is reunited with his two brothers and their wives.

    Further complications arise when widowed Eli’s plans for the Bajan

    home receive a set-back from an unexpected source.


    London, 4 years later. The table is set with Tiger Malt, lashings of Madeira cake and chocolate digestives (milk, not dark). Secrets are exposed at this last family gathering but Eli knows time is running out: Can the Gillard family reconcile their faith in God with their faith in one another?.
