Pretty Trees on the Hill

About the Book

Larry Selig is a lover of Kingston, Jamaica, who is now in his sixth decade of life. In a book of recollections, he reflects on the beauty of this unique city lined with pretty trees and pathways, wooded areas, as well as stores and other fun attractions. As Selig takes others through his memories of his former home mostly viewed while atop his bicycle, he shares colorful descriptions of his favorite spot on top of a hill where he writes, the local food bank, a long road that leads to a creek, a freshly-mowed golf course, the mall where he enjoys drinking coffee, and all the other places that inspire him to pick up his guitar and strum. Throughout his recollections, Selig provides a gentle reminder to others to slow down, look around, embrace the simple gifts that life brings, and live in the moment. Pretty Trees on the Hill shares one man’s reflections about the beauty, people, and hope that surrounds Kingston, Jamaica.
