The Color Of Ice: A Canadian Serenadem - George Graham
Color of Ice, The: A Canadian Serenade
George Graham
After his father’s death, Eric Taylor is left to fend for himself on a small farm in the mountains of Jamaica. He decides to seek his fortune abroad, and chooses Toronto as his new home. It is a decision he immediately regrets. Alone and half-frozen, he longs for the sunshine and sensuality of his homeland.
The civil rights movement is at its height, and the Vietnam War is raging. Catastrophic events in the United States have a profound effect on his perceptions—and on his life.
Early encounters with bigoted Canadians make him acutely self-conscious of his swarthy skin and Caribbean accent. When he falls in love with a white Canadian girl, his mind is filled with self-doubt and mistrust. But his talent for music and help from newfound friends open doors he never knew existed and shape a destiny beyond his wildest imaginings.
