George Wright's autobiography is the unforgettable
story of a man who rose from poverty and hardship to build a life of dignity
and purpose. Born into great need in the fishing village of Sans Souci, Wright
endured abuse, hunger and instability. Yet he discovered early his gift as a
keen observer, recording with humour and honesty the everyday details of
Trinidadian life: funerals and festivals, bush medicine and obeah, the rhythms
of school and village community.


As a young runaway in Port of Spain, Wright survived
by ingenuity: working as a yard boy, factory hand, bauxite loader, trader in
Suriname, even living in a tree. Along the way, he read Shakespeare and
Dickens, painted houses, bartended, fought when challenged, and captured it all
with extraordinary clarity.

His life transformed when he found love, built a home
in Laventille and earned respect as "man of business" for a local entrepreneur.
More than memoir, Wright's story is a testament to resilience, integrity and
hope, an inspiring Caribbean life narrative for all readers of autobiography.
