IAM® by Lady Christ, is a fascinating insight in to the traumas of a young girl, who moves from her native Jamaica at a young age to the UK. Her mother’s depression and troubled relationship with her father lead her to have a very unhappy time. Lady Christ (or Hazel as she was called at home) was expected to carry out most of the child care and household tasks which placed a heavy burden on Hazel. Despite trying her hardest, she was regularly beaten by her mother and treated cruelly, despite her mother’s attendance at Christian places of worship.
A remarkable conclusion relates the almost unbelievable abuse to which Hazel is eventually subjected, and how she finds comfort and is even able to forgive her parents, when the almighty presence is imbued within her. With this is explained the relevance of IAM and how she learned to heed the advice from within not to kill or eat flesh – as to do so brought turmoil and the immediate risk of physical and emotional danger.
With an innovative style of writing, this book will surprise and inform readers - whether they be of a religious faith or not. No reader is likely to forget the early sad events and its dramatic conclusion.
