Book Description

A Journey of Promise is a fictitious story about a young woman called Gillian Honey. Having outgrown her rural life experiences in Promise, she seeks development elsewhere. Her journey, focused around a nursing career, takes her from the rural suburbs of Guyana to urban city life in Georgetown, and thereon to London.
