'Til the Well Runs Dry

Francis-Sharma, Lauren

In a seaside village in the north of Trinidad, young Marcia Garcia, a gifted and smart-mouthed sixteen-year-old seamstress, lives alone, raising two small boys and guarding a family secret. When she meets Farouk Karam, an ambitious young policeman, so taken with Marcia that he elicits help from a tea-brewing obeah woman to guarantee her ardor, the rewards and risks in Marcia's life amplify forever.
