Olga - A Daughter's Tale, written in the form of diaries and letters, is based on the true story of a kind, naive and gentle girl who was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. One of eleven children from a close-knit coloured Catholic family, Olga came to London in 1939 to live with a malevolent alcoholic aunt intending to study dance and stay for only six months. But world events, personal tragedy and malicious intent all combined to prevent her from returning home to her beloved family in Kingston, Jamaica. It is a story of the cruelty, revenge and jealousy inflicted on an innocent young woman and how she demonstrated moral courage, dignity, resilience and love. It is the story of a remarkable woman who made a choice which resulted in her losing contact with her beloved family in Jamaica until nearly half a century later, when her past finally caught up with her.
