In the wake of her father's death, Rachel Manley turned inward to try to understand him and to explore the impact of those final moments. Her father, the charismatic, controversial prime minister of Jamaica, had stood at the heart of a decade of radical social reform in the 1970s. From her father's bedside during his last six months of life, Manley searches the shadows that he cast on her as a child and as a woman.
