The twenty-two stories in this collection, Epitaph by Her Grave, are the pieces of my heart I hold dearest. They are a singular labor of nostalgia and love, dedicated to the people who once walked the green pastures of Chatham (Chatam) Saint James, Jamaica. This tiny village was my mother's birthplace and the refuge of my own childhood.
I remember roaming through endless acres of pregnant land alongside my grandmother, Dorcas. Together, we discovered the pulse of nature and the winding roads of life-a road I came to see not as a straight track, but as a map of diverse paths and hidden channels essential for growth. It was a bittersweet education. I learned the weight of existence through the whispered stories of those who lived in the district long before I was born. These are the ghosts of Chatam who haunt my mind. In this collection, I choose to give them voice, for they are the ones who truly taught me the journey we all must eventually take... S. D.
