Every Crumb

Maya never met her grandmother. But one photograph changes the way she hears everything — her mother's corrections, her auntie's stories, and the Jamaican sayings that keep showing up when she needs them most.

Twelve Jamaican proverbs. One school year. A girl learning that the wisdom her family has been passing down was never old-fashioned — it was just waiting for her to grow into it.

Every Crumb is a novel about family wisdom, cultural inheritance, and the slow, ordinary way love teaches you who you are. The proverbs are Jamaican. The questions they raise belong to every family.

With chapter reflections, a proverb glossary, and a path to the Every Crumb Journal series.
