Chapter 4: The Illusion of Perfection
New York was New York. Big, tall, scary, loud, bad, and good smells— everything that you expect a big city to be. In a small island, when somebody says they're going away, they mean they're going to New York. The world didn't really seem much bigger than that.

Chapter 2: A Somewhat Dad
Uncle Vaughn was handsome tall, funny, and loved me. My mother dated him before she decided to get married. In Trinidad we call men that are older than us uncles. She dated a few people but, he was the first person who sat down on the floor with me and colored with me. I could not have been older than four. And I remember every detail of that man. He was pure sunshine. My heart skipped when I saw him because I knew he would pick me up and spin me around. I knew he gave a s*** about me.
