Periwinkled Paradise is a poignant coming-of-age novel set in Trinidad and Tobago, exploring themes of mental health, self-discovery, and cultural identity. The story follows Jasmine Adderley, an aspiring writer whose university relocates to a seaside village called Gaston for her final year. As she adjusts to her new environment, Jasmine encounters a charismatic lecturer harbouring a mysterious past, disrupting her already complex life. To achieve her dreams, she must confront her inner demons and face the most daunting challenge; herself.

The novel is set against the vibrant backdrop of Trinidad and Tobago and delves into the intricacies of Caribbean culture, spirituality and family traditions. It offers a vivid portrayal of the region's landscapes and customs, enriching the narrative with authentic local.

A central aspect of the novel is its exploration of mental health, particularly within Caribbean communities where such discussions are often stigmatized. Through Jasmine's introspective journey, the book sheds light on the importance of acknowledging and addressing mental well-being.
