A Smile in Every Season presents a richly woven tapestry of humor, love, romance, family intrigue, and mystery, all narrated with a unique flair that promises to captivate readers. The story revolves around four fascinating characters: a stunning, single nurse; a closeted police detective; a mother and university lecturer; and a gay financial analyst. They are Trinidadians who migrated to the United States in their late teens or early twenties and are all living in Atlanta, Georgia, two decades later when they interact in unexpected circumstances over the course of four consecutive seasons.
Through engaging flashbacks, the narrative unveils the pivotal moments that shaped their lives, offering readers a deeper understanding of their present-day personas. The story is structured so that the reader gets to experience many of their highs and lows, but especially to share in their smiles and laughter.
The book’s title reflects the idea that we often talk to ourselves more than we realize, and the humor in these internal conversations can significantly uplift our spirits and improve our lives.
