Chameleon

Phoenix Ashby is an acronym for puberty and adolescence. It is an acknowledgement of the issues that young girls face on their journey to self-fulfillment.

The story is written through the eyes of a teenage girl who, after reaching puberty, finds herself on a roller coaster of sexual liaisons culminating in an abortion.

Phoenix's experiences growing up in the church-centered contradiction of a small Caribbean island provides a fitting backdrop upon which her life story can be finally told. It is a mosaic of life, love, joy, pain and almost happy endings.
