The Authorpreneur Secret$™ Podcast

How do you turn your family’s history into a book?

Learn more from Pat Lindsay Fletcher, author of the book, “Hezekiah: Many Houses, One Life.”

This is Pat’s debut novel.  Pat kept a journal most of her adult life, but never imagined that one day this would result in writing a published novel. Her debut historical novel HEZEKIAH: Many Houses One Life is a gripping tale of class, race, and family struggle in the colonial era of the early to mid-twentieth century Jamaica. It mirrors the pattern of many Caribbean families and leaves us asking how on earth these generational cycles can be broken?

Pat is a Jamaican who migrated to Canada in 1987. She currently lives with her husband, Keith, in Whitby, Ontario.
