About the Author

I was born on September 18, 1941, on the Island of Dominica in the West Indies, the first of five children to the deceased Victor and Constance Alfred. Three girls and two boys, the first in order of birth is Eugenia—that’s me— then Clement, Vivian, Vilma, and Virginia. After the death of my parents, I went to live with my godmother until I was able to take care of myself. I was brought up a staunch catholic and attended a convent school from the age of five to fifteen. I taught at the school I attended for five years after leaving school. I have four children, two girls and two boys, and five grandchildren, one boy and four girls. I got married in 1969 and travelled to England the same year, spending all my days in London. I worked at various employments to make ends meet. My main job was working at Export Credits Guarantee Department and retired after twenty-one years in 2000 at age fifty-nine. Now I am enjoying my retirement and my family. For ten years, I did missionary work, visiting different parts of the country with the Sion Community, doing missions one week a year. This I found very rewarding, but due to aches and pains in my back and leg, I had to stop. I love life and enjoy a good times, meeting people, and just having fun with friends and family on a regular basis. I value family life and friendship of which I have many.
