In Between the City and the Hills, Wendy Jordine captures the vibrant duality of growing up in Jamaica. From the rhythmic, bustling energy of life in Kingston to the profound, spiritual silence found in the lush mountains of St. Mary.
This is more than a memoir; it is a sensory exploration of heritage. It tells the story of outdoor adventures under mango trees, the wisdom of elders, and the unbreakable family bonds that define the Jamaican spirit.
Wendy is a mother of three girls, a grandmother of six, and a storyteller at heart. Born and raised in Jamaica, her writing is an intimate bridge between the generations, ensuring the traditions, laughter, and resilience of her youth are never forgotten.
"I write so my grandchildren know where they come from—and so they can find their own peace, no matter how busy the city gets."
