About 'Thriving In The Care of Many Mothers'
Taken from the only home she'd known at three, Rosemary Yvonne had no idea that journey would lead to many homes in villages and cities of Jamaica...to the care of many "mothers" who enriched the constant love of her own mother ...to a stellar education and becoming the first Jamaican woman accepted to England's prestigious Leeds University ...to a position at the Jamaican Mission to the United Nations and a Carnegie Fellowship that continued her journeys across the world...to marriage and life in Trinidad...to the challenge of facing widowhood with two young children...and ultimately to happiness in a new marriage and life in the United States.
Thriving in the Care of Many Mothers shares the joy, heartbreak, and ultimate contentment Rosemary Borel achieved, thanks to the care, support, and guidance of all who helped her walk her life path.

The Sacred Other: Searching for God Between the Lines

Our Storytime is held in our children's room to facilitate a safe and welcoming environment for the little people while maximizing space to engage each other.

Saturday's Storytime is generally suited for children 0-6 but all ages are welcome. Come spend the afternoon with us, grab a cappuccino, and maybe a brownie or a (vegan)cookie.

You are always welcome to pass through in ones, in twos and even in tens to have your own little reading session, and when we can spend some time reading with you, we will.

See you and your little people soon!
