Westward: The Walk of a Bahamian Doctor
by: Harold Munnings, Jr.
Spanning four generations of a Bahamian family, from nineteenth-century out-island farmers to city professionals at the turn of the millennium, Westward: The Walk of a Bahamian Doctor celebrates a father’s love, a mother’s faith and the village that raised them. Sprinkled with pearls such as the Bahamian contribution to the success of Campbell Soup and accounts of shocking crimes, like the murder that led two young American men to the gallows at Nassau’s Fox Hill Prison, this captivating memoir chronicles an interplay of luck, hard work, and divine intervention as it portrays the making of a medical doctor in the Caribbean.
