About the Book

"Fall from Grace" is a timeline on the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago that celebrated its 50th anniversary of Independence during Kamla Persad-Bissessar's tenureship as first woman Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. Rhona Simone Baptiste has once again faithfully recorded the political background of news and events against which Kamla Persad-Bissessar's Victory of the People as it was dubbed on May 24th 2010 was to fall in defeat on September 7th 2015. As the People's Partnership, her leadership embraced her own United National Congress, with the Congress of the People, the National Joint Action Committee, the Movement for Social Justice, and the Tobago Organization of the People. Kamla Persad-Bissessar's legacy can be traced from Baptiste's postings, blogs and columns across the five years. Her records, popular on social media, include the (Un)Easy like Sunday Morning articles and her Letters to the Prime Minister. The collection is useful reference for social studies, history buffs and readers interested in the dynamics that shaped the lives of those who arrived on the shores of what the colonizers then called the West Indies. This was once a Spanish, French and English-speaking colony but some five hundred years later, Trinidad and Tobago is an now an Independent Republic caught up in the throes of its own growing pains. Its accidental mineral wealth of oil, gas and asphalt, contributed to it being a special Caribbean case study especially in light of its multi-culturalism where the two major races are from Africa and India.
About the Author: Biography RHONA SIMONE BAPTISTE (née HUNTE) was born in Tunapuna, Trinidad on May 2nd 1938. She attended the St Charles' RC School and then won a College Exhibition from St Rose's Intermediate to St Joseph's Convent, Port of Spain. There she obtained a Grade 1. Cambridge School Certificate and an Advanced Level Cambridge Higher Certificate. In 1961 she graduated from Marygrove College, Detroit, Michigan USA with a BSC majoring in Biology and with Minors in Spanish and French. Subsequent work as Senior Science Mistress at her Alma Mater led her into the sphere as Head of Women's Desk of CADEC (Christian Action for Development in the Eastern Caribbean) By 1975 she joined her husband Owen in business at Inprint Caribbean Ltd. In the world of publishing where she held the post as Distribution Manager. Later she was to become Corporate Services Manager when the move was made for him to return to the Trinidad Express Newspapers Ltd. in 1986. After assisting her husband with laying down the foundations for the Jamaica Observer in 1993 her story remains the same as his... Caribbean Information Systems and Services which introduced touch screen information technology to over 70,000 students who visited the Caribbean Basin Exhibit on Frederick St. Lack of investment for their vision resulted in his acceptance of an offer from the People's Republic of China's government in Beijing. It was to teach English to young teachers of English at a Training College in Guangzhou. This she did for twelve years before returning home to Trinidad and Tobago in 2011. She continues to write at home and is an avid blogger with a passion for Politics and societal concerns in her homeland especially. As for her bucket list.... she has a penchant for studying Economics which she believes... is at the heart of it all. Cascade Trinidad and Tobago Thursday, 10th September 2015
