UJA-The Book That Changed Jamaica Ira Poyser MR

UJA-The Book That Changed Jamaica tells the story of Khadeen Matisse née Mason and Orson Matisse, Prime Minister of Jamaica and ex-400m undefeated triple World and Olympic Champion. They have an off-on-off relationship after having co-authored a book, Universalizing JA, UJA which led to a great split between the two of them, after the book had a tremendous impact on their country, Jamaica and the world. UJA has been banned by the American, Canadian and British governments. The World Athletics Committee have also been indicted by Orson for conspiracy to weaken the Jamaican athletics programme. Writing the book also led to the estrangement of their son, Leo, who is the captain of the Jamaican athletics team. He was raised partly in Kingston, Jamaica and left for Chicago. He was inspired by the book written by his parents although he would never admit that to them. In a catastrophic twist, Leo is caught up in the largest north American tornado storm in history, whilst studying in Chicago. He is injured and loses his memory, his identity and has to work to 'keep the wolf from the door', as he does not remember who he is and where he came from. Orson and Khadeen join forces to find their son, defend their country, whilst falling in love as they reconcile their differences to become the strength their son needs, right now.
