 EXTRACT OF REVIEW

This biography is well-researched, and the author allows the subject to speak for himself through the narrative by referencing Dr. Khan's own memoirs. The writing is beautiful, journalistic, and it is enriched by the social commentaries and historical references that allow readers vivid glimpses of what life was like in the first half of the twentieth century. The setting comes out clearly, and while the reader gets a clear picture of locales and places, the author catches the soul of the people in a brilliant way

 BARRY HOLMES MYSTERIES

https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/barry-holmes-mysteries

EXTRACT OF REVIEW

 I found the stories simple, but the plots unusual. From the beginning, the author seizes the reader's interest and draws the reader into the lives of her characters and the beautiful Caribbean Islands. Each story holds all the elements of a good mystery novel: well-rounded characters, a solid plot, and twists that unfold as the crimes are solved. The author is known for her diverse interests and writing abilities, which come out in her stories. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to other Barry Holmes mysteries." 

CHOSEN BY THE CREATOR

https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/chosen-by-the-creator

 EXTRACT OF REVIEW

For any newcomer to the Bible, Mohammed's clear, simple explanation of each book's primary focus is illuminating.
Her earnest and heartfelt urging that "all God wants from us is obedience" is a resounding call to us to listen to the word of God and to obey. In short, Chosen by the Creator: Bible Stories is a wonderful supplement to the Bible, although, as Mohammed clearly states, it is certainly no replacement for it.

Synopsis for My Life as a Banker: A Life worth Living


SYNOPSIS FOR MY LIFE AS A BANKER


In 'My Life as a Banker' the author Brenda Mohammed combines both History and Geography with her positive outlook to bring her story to life.
The Memoir is the story of a woman's determination to succeed in a profession that did not always favor women.
Set in the lovely Caribbean island of Trinidad. MY LIFE AS A BANKER: A LIFE WORTH LIVING is a fascinating personal memoir.
The book starts with the author’s early life and childhood, leading up to her first job with a Trinidad bank with ties to the United Kingdom.
Her close knit family, her parents, and siblings took care of each other in a special way
Having defied death twice at the ages of eight and nine, she excels and graduates from High School at the tender age of sixteen, and lands a job with Barclays Bank D.C.O. which later became localized.
The book details how the author started at a clerical level and rose to a senior position, solely on the basis of her dedication, hard work and intelligence.
Brenda Mohammad describes how the bank transformed from manual work to mechanization, and then to computerization.
She describes changes in the banking system and changes in the bank's attitude towards its employees throughout her working years, and the important roles she played to bring about changes.
Dealing with customers and their money issues can be stressful, but Brenda proved that hard work and determination pay.
Brenda gradually moved up the ranks, and received several promotions, leading up to senior managerial status.
The Bank assigned her to different branches throughout the island, and she developed a cordial working relationship with her colleagues and staff.
Her farewell party from the staff and fellow workers describes how popular she was during her stay with them
Life is not always perfect and there were sad moments like the death of her parents, brothers, and sisters, that will tug at your heart.
There were also many joyful moments, like her marriage to another banker, and the birth of her two children.
It was a tradition for the groom to write a letter to the bride's father to seek permission to marry his daughter. This is what happened when her husband proposed to her. The description of her marriage is beautiful and emotional.
Brenda travelled extensively to the United States and Europe. Her visits to Germany and Holland are described in a picturesque way.
