My Story My Song (To Happy Endings)

Phoenix Ashby is an acronym for puberty and adolescence. It is an acknowledgement of the issues which young girls face on their journey to self-fulfillment. The story is written through the eyes of a teenage girl who after reaching puberty finds herself on a roller coaster of sexual liaisons culminating in an abortion. Phoenix's experiences growing up in the church-centered contradiction of a small Caribbean island, provides a fitting backdrop upon which her life story can be finally told. It is a mosaic of life, love, joy, pain and almost happy endings.
