Davidson Hepburn writes a memoir that is funny and inspiring. He showcases his pretty incredible life; he went all over the place - studying in Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. He served The Bahamas government in many ways as an ambassador, working with the United Nations, among many other things. I wish he would have expanded on his experiences more in different eras of his life. He seems to hit each life marker, mention a few details, and move on. I wanted to know what it was like to experience racism in Florida in the 1960s or his experiences with being Black in Europe. He touches on those things but never goes into detail. I would have also liked a more streamlined narrative. Hepburn bounces from topic to topic sometimes out of order of his life trajectory. I picked up this work sporadically so perhaps that caused it to feel more disjointed. 

I wish he would have expanded more on his early life on Cat Island. I've noticed that none of the older Bahamian people I meet ever talk about what it was like growing up on the family island. Hepburn remarks that when he was younger he was ashamed of the 'lack' his family had. My own father who is much younger than Hepburn can recall his time growing up in South Andros with no electricity or running water with some fondness (and he grew up there in the 1970s).
