Books- Unbroken-Sheila 2.0 by Richard Hugh Blackford
Unbroken – Sheila 2.0 is the riveting sequel to Sheila – The Girl from the Lane, picking up where Sheila Salmon’s courageous journey left off.
Wrongfully dismissed and scarred by the sting of bigotry, Sheila is no longer just a survivor, she’s a woman reborn. Armed with a life-changing settlement and an unbreakable will, she sets out to redefine her future on her own terms.
Set against the vibrant, turbulent backdrop of Jamaica in the late 1980s and 1990s, this powerful novel chart Sheila’s rise as an ambitious entrepreneur navigating the country’s shifting social and political tides. From Kingston’s energetic streets to the glittering coasts of Montego Bay and Negril, Sheila uses her grit and intelligence to build an empire, even as Jamaica itself undergoes seismic transformation.
But her vision stretches beyond the island's shores. In New York City, a place bursting with opportunity and challenge—Sheila must confront new cultural realities while chasing her boldest dreams yet.
Just as she begins to taste the fruits of her labor, the reappearance of Tony, the father of her children, stirs old emotions and unresolved tensions. At the same time, the shadows of Jamaica’s rising criminal underworld threaten to pull her into a world where every choice comes at a cost.
Unbroken – Sheila 2.0 is a story of triumph, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of legacy. In Sheila Salmon, readers will find a heroine whose journey reflects the strength of a woman—and a nation—refusing to be broken.
