Product Description

When eighteen-year-old Serena Bacchus won a beauty pageant and, as one of her many prizes, received a return ticket to the United States of America, she was overflowing with happiness. Upon her arrival at JFK International Airport in the United States of America, she was held, jailed for possession of an illegal substance, and served a six-month jail term. She thought that nothing worse could ever happen to her. But on the day that she is deported back to Guyana, her native land, she realizes that her troubles have only just begun, that in fact, she has been and still is nothing but an expendable pawn in the dangerous and high-stakes games being played by persons highly placed in society, persons whom the citizenry metaphorically refer to as “Zinc.” Serena’s story and her longings may well be that of any young woman whom you know.
