Triumph over Tragedy

Triumph over Tragedy—by Jay Fox, a popular entertainer known both in his home, Bermuda, as well as in the USA and internationally—is the personal story of his journey from the beginning as a mixed-blood child of a single mother of limited means in a prejudicial and insular society to a highly popular singer, songwriter, performer, and respected hotel manager. How he handled this challenging double life and how it affected his growing need for meaning in his life, leads to a stormy personal situation and his relocation to Crossville, a small town in Tennessee.

When all was going well personally, with a family and a horse-training ranch and professionally, with a busy schedule of performances and an enthusiastic following of loyal fans, tragedy struck when a wasp sting turned into an infectious disease, diagnosed as group-A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, which cost him his leg and threatened his very life. His faith in God and the support of his family, friends, and fans have led him to a future he could never have anticipated.
