In the wake of her father's death, Rachel Manley turned inward to try to understand him and to explore the impact of those final moments. Her father, the charismatic, controversial prime minister of Jamaica, had stood at the heart of a decade of radical social reform in the 1970s. From her father's bedside during his last six months of life, Manley searches the shadows that he cast on her as a child and as a woman. She shares her love and pain, and explores how the enduring bonds that held them were tested time and again, not only by the ordinary conflicts of family life, but by the heavy demands of the political arena. "Slipstream" is a shining portrait of one man's enormous heart and undying spirit.Manley, Rachel is the author of 'Slipstream: A Daughter Remembers', published 2009 under ISBN 9781554700516 and ISBN 1554700515.
