Set on a West Indian Island, Force Ripe portrays the story of Lee, a little girl growing up in a northern village in the 1970s, when it was normal for children to be left with grandparents while parents went abroad to work and send money home. It was the time of revolution, during which Lee’s father joined a growing Rastafarian movement. Force Ripe tells, in Lee’s voice, the story of her life in the ghetto with her brother and father, when the siblings were taken out of school and left on their own to roam the bushes and smoke ganja. It describes how she was taken by a Rastman when she was just ten, and how she survived - with no one to turn to - during a time of women’s liberation, free education and youth movements. She is subsequently rescued when the Rastafarian commune is disbanded by the People’s Revolutionary Army-(PRA), and struggles to bury her secret past.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Thought provoking and challenging By Karen Stiell An excellent read depicting life growing up in rural Grenada. It is written in dialect - both the narration and the dialogue which can be challenging to read at times for a non Grenadian, but it is readable. There is a glossary of local terms in the back which helps with unusual words. It is an eye opener for those of us from the West, who look upon Grenada as an idyllic paradise. We learn about the people and the hardships and struggles endured in every day life. Well worth the read if you are looking for a read which is different, thought-provoking and challenging.

By Dunbar Campbell Cindy McKenzie’s novel, Force Ripe, is a literary gift to Grenada, an inspiration to children, and a powerful lesson to parents everywhere. This novel touched my soul. Its magic is in the simple but profound observations of Lee, a young girl facing the challenges and dangers of a harsh existence that no child deserves. It’s an unforgettable journey of abandonment, betrayal, and painful secrets. Yet, she prevails, giving testimony to the resilience and strength of the human spirit. When I turned the last page, I wanted to meet her, to hear her voice, and experience her strength. The story rings so true, the details so vivid, I know Lee is out there somewhere. When you read this book, you will have the same experience too.

By LUCINDA FRANCIS Well worth the read.... the author truly described the hardship and abuse (physical & mental) some children went through by the hands of their caregivers even their own family. It was heart wrenching go through the journey of the young life of the author with her as she told the story. I'm so thankful I have not been through what she has described. I truly respect this young woman for the strong and graceful person she is today. Kudos to a true nubian princess.
