Harriet's Daughter was about two young girls, Margret and Zulma. In this charming, humorous and perceptive tale of adolescence writer explores the friendship of two young black girls and throws into sharp relief the wider issues of culture and identity so relevant to teenagers of all races and colours. Margret is determined to be someone be cool, with style and class and to have a a blacker skin .More than anything else she wants to help her best friend , Zulma , escape from Canada and fly back to Tobago to live with her grandmother. She complies a list : 'Things I want to change about my life' and set about acheiving her objectives. But at fourteen, coming to terms with growing-up , relationships and responsibilities is not quite so straight forward, and the parental threat of 'Good West Indian Discipline' is never far removed.
