Jasmine loves her life in London; she’s got loads of friends, she’s successfully ducking and weaving her way through school and she’s got a lot of attitude. But then her life is turned upside down. Suddenly, Jasmine is moved away from everything she knows when her parents announce that they are taking the family back to Barbados so that Jasmine can lead a better and safer life there.
Jasmine’s adventures and the roller-coaster of emotions she goes through are touchingly told by award winning TV presenter and writer Floella Benjamin who has drawn on her own experiences to tell this story.
