A Season of Disruption: A Memoir of Perseverance and Overcoming Obstacles Kindle Edition

by Jacqueline Walker (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (23)

She had no reason to expect the worst. When tragedy strikes, can this mother of five make a heartrending choice to save her children?

Jamaica, the 1970s. Murna Moreland thrived on the love of her family. A happy homemaker, she cared for a bustling household while her beloved husband of sixteen years worked hard as the sole provider. But she found her security and joy snatched away by a fatal accident, leaving her a grieving widow.

Deprived of a breadwinner, the dedicated woman frantically searched for a way to take care of her kids. And with zero local opportunities, she turned to the only option available despite its huge catch… temporarily saying goodbye to her babies while she pursued a better future for them in America.

Would Murna’s sacrifice be their lifeline or the disaster that separated them forever?

In this story of courage and resilience, the youngest daughter shares the powerful pilgrimage undertaken by her family’s matriarch to secure a different destiny for them all. And for those also faced with trauma, this light of hope blazes through the clouds to champion the strength of self-determination and reveal ultimate triumph.

A Season of Disruption is a mesmerizing account full of raw emotion. If you like real-life struggles, understanding the immigrant journey, and the power of never giving up, then you’ll enjoy Jacqueline P. Walker’s inspirational memoir.

Editorial Reviews

Review


  • "As with all memoirs, it takes a sharp mind to bring the narrator's experiences to life in a way that disparate readers can relate to it. And Walker does this through a combination of earnest prose and astute observation that conveys her story from both her own and her mother's unique perspectives. With a laudable and powerful element of self-reflection, the lasting message in Walker's words is that the lingering trauma of tragedy pales in the face of self-determination to succeed. A warm and inspiring read that is sure to strike a note of accord with its readers A Season Of Disruption is certainly recommended." - Book Viral

  • "This beautifully written memoir is heartwarming and inspirational. It's hard to put down this book once you start reading it!" - Reedsy Discovery
  • "A Season of Disruption is a powerful story that will touch the hearts of all who read it." - Readers' Favorite

Disruption opens the door for purpose.
A short read by Jacqueline Walker focuses on the blessings and benefits in "disruption" as opposed to the chaos and doom so many assume it can only bring. This well-written recollection of accounts from one family's "disruption", the ingrained wisdom and direction of a loving father and the relentless sacrifices, unwavering faith and love of a mother that got them through. This book will leave you encouraged, eagerly optimistic and appreciating your parents all the more.

    Isn't it great when you find one of those books that ultimately drags you in and demands that you sit and read until the end? This is one of those books for me. The real-life story of this family with all the struggles and difficult decisions that this mother had to make for the future of her five kids. The older sister only 15 years old and have the leadership to take care of her brothers and sisters. Please read it, tell a friend, purchase it for a friend or family member. I promise you will love this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful memoir
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021
    Format: Paperback
    I finished reading it last night––what a beautiful memoir. I felt like I was right there with the author and her and her siblings when her father died, and then again with her mother when she came here to the U.S. I most definitely felt some 'holy envy' as I contemplated what her mother was willing to do for her children, and how close each of the five siblings are.
