BREAKING AWAY

Judith Nembhard now lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S.A., having taken a long route from her birthplace in rural Jamaica with its lush, tropical landscape that always makes its way into her writing. In the U.S. she attended college and university in Massachusetts and Maryland, starting out as a biology major but gravitated to her first love, English, earning a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland. She writes Christian fiction and is the author of Myra's Calling, Breaking Away, and Dark Days on the Fairest Isle, which was a finalist in the Southern Christian Writers Conference (S.C.W.C.) Notable Book Award (2019). Her memoir Mr. Michael: Journeying with My Special Son has won praise from parents of autistic children and those who work with them.
