The Blessings Came Down: The Blessings Came Down - Paperback

by Solo Studio (Barbados) (Author), Andre Trotman (Illustrator), Tracy Cyrus (Foreword by)

Sybil Cyrus was born and raised on the Caribbean Island of Barbados. This was the only book written by this mother of three following her retirement from a successful career in banking. THE BLESSINGS CAME DOWN is a narrative of the successes and disappointments faced by a young girl Elaine, growing up in the post emancipation Caribbean. It is a compelling story of the personal life journey where Elaine reminisces about a lifestyle and culture that is fast becoming obsolete while dealing with issues like family, religion, racism and sexism. Most of all it is a personal testimony of how God is always working on behalf of those who believe by faith, to secure victory on their behalf. The book is a light hearted, refreshing read with an inspirational message that will resonate with both young and old. Sybil Cyrus died suddenly and sadly at the age of 64 on the day that the edited manuscript was delivered. Her memory lives on in this wonderful keepsake that is a reminder of the many talented and spirited women of the Caribbean past and present, and an inspiration for the generations to come.
