"What She Carried: Margaret's Story"

Available in EPUB and MOBI formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

🌺 Meet Miss Margaret before the heartache, in the fierce bloom of her own story. Long before her role in *Scarlet Birthright* opens with one impossible decision, Maggie is the woman who coaxes Joromi’s restless fire into something bright—yet never lets it scorch her spirit. From Port-of-Spain night-markets to a Brooklyn winter that bites to the bone, Margaret rewrites the rules of marriage, motherhood, and immigrant ambition. And when fate tries to hand her the second-hand cloak of “stepmom,” she refuses to wear it, choosing instead to stitch a destiny wholly her own. Whether you already know her as “the wife playing second fiddle to a ghost” or you’re stepping into Scarlet’s world for the first time, *What She Carries* reveals untold chapters of courage, sacrifice, and surprising joy pulsing beneath the Scarlet Birthright. Grab your free download, slip into Maggie’s stilettos, and discover how one audacious Trinidadian woman learns to hold love—and herself—without letting either disappear. Download the short story now and feel the grace in Maggie’s journey for yourself. -------------------------- Peek into this author's WORK IN PROGRESS · EDIT PHASE PENDING Copyright 2025, Scarlet Ibis James, All Rights Reserved ISBN: 979-8-218-67432-8
