When Patsy gets her visa to America, she's thrilled to join her friend and secret love, Cicely. America turns out to be different from what she anticipates, and she's forced to do what she has to in order to survive as an undocumented immigrant, including working as a nanny and bathroom attendant. Meanwhile, back in Jamaica, her daughter, Tru, struggles with her own sexuality, as well as feeling abandoned by a mother who has no intention of coming back. Patsy is the second book from powerhouse Nicole Dennis-Benn, and it promises to be a searing and memorable read.
