“A Caribbean Tale” is a well-written haunting memoir that introduces you to a family held together by quiet dignity and powerful secrets. The story unfolds in flashback sequences allowing a reader to physically feel the depth of the young boy’s difficult journey, all set in motion by the mysterious abandonment of his mother and father. The discovery on a rainy afternoon of an old leather trunk that contained a book sporting the picture of a middle-aged white man on on its cover would change Rudy Gurley’s life forever. This true story demonstrates the author’s quest to make something of his own life far removed from the extreme conditions he would endure as a child.
