Staceyann's mother did not want her, and her father was not present. No one, except her grandmother, thought Staceyann would survive.\u003cp\u003eIt was her grandmother who nurtured and protected and provided for Staceyann and her older brother in the early years. But when the three were separated, Staceyann was thrust, alone, into an unfamiliar and dysfunctional home in Paradise, Jamaica. There, she faced far greater troubles than absent parents. So, armed with a fierce determination and uncommon intelligence, she discovered a way to break out of this harshly unforgiving world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStaceyann Chin, acclaimed and iconic performance artist, now brings her extraordinary talents to the page in a brave, lyrical, and fiercely candid memoir about growing up in Jamaica. She plumbs tender and unsettling memories as she writes about drifting from one home to the next, coming out as a lesbian, and finding the man she believes to be her father and ultimately her voice. Hers is an unforgettable story told with grace, humor, and courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Other Side of Paradise: A Memoir | Staceyann Chin | Hardcover | 9780743292900 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1790858","offer_id":68005366300824,"sku":"1790858","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41swc-rbsML.jpg?v=1794706459","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/other-side-of-paradise-a-memoir","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
