As Tsunami struggles to understand her own unresolved emotional issues; the tenacious Paul Morrison pursues an improbable romance with her. Amidst the social taboo of the time, jealousy and bigotry began to flourish, once the communities becomes aware of what has been developing between the two. Paul gets put to the absolute test. He’ll have to reckon between his friend, his town and what he found the summer of Tsunami.

My children and I are the products or many generations of interracial coupling, as I too have married outside of my race. This story came to me, when I experienced firsthand how difficult being a part of an interracial relationship could be. Upon deeper consideration, I found myself wondering how even more difficult it must have been for my parents and grandparents for that matter. As I explored these thoughts and feelings, “The Summer of Tsunami” was born. I have earned a Master’s Degree in Health & Healing and have dedicated my life to the well-being of others. I have developed multiple youth programs, ranging from snapping turtle research with National Geographic to building wooden boats and drums with underprivileged children. In addition to the above, I am a thespian, a dancer, a singer, a craftswoman and above all else, a storyteller.
