A Checkered Path to Destiny is about the survival of a young man born in a rural area of Jamaica into the Lower Class of Society. It tells of his constant desire to find a place to call home and a fit for him in Jamaican society. Ivan really digs deep to open a window to the world he survived. Every child has the right to a name, a home and an education. Sadly, a lack of those basic rights plus hunger and abuse all became a normal part of Ivan's severely limited childhood. Some of the odds against him were: a broken home, being placed as a servant in the care of others, a lack of education and many of his trials were self-imposed. The Checkered Path in Jamaica took a dramatic turn that changed his life forever. Ivan indicates in this book that he has always been inspired by people of high moral values and fortitude. These were people he held up as role models, and chose to emulate throughout his life. As a result, he learns very early in life that all good opportunities come and go and like a moving platform one must chose to either hop on or watch in bewilderment as it gets out of reach. Unfortunately as he grew older, he did not always practice what he had learned. A Checkered Path to Destiny will horrify, intrigue and delight people of all ages - globally. Perhaps you will smile as you read this book, and even question the author's rational for being so candid about certain events, but in this writing his history shows not what he wished it could have been, but what was and what is.

The question of destiny is surrounded by mystery. Are we alone? Are we left clueless about the most important issues of our life? Is there any way to find the answers to the four major questions we all have? Who am I? What is the purpose of my life? What am I doing here? Who is my Creator? Perhaps there is a plan for each of us as hinted in the Bible: "Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered" (Matt 10:30). If such a plan does exist, is it hidden from us or are we allowed to see what's in store for us? The Bible describes early in Genesis the Creator's intent to leave lights in the sky "for signs and for seasons" (Gen 1:14). This book is an introduction to one of the oldest and most persistent methods used to understand and decipher the maps of our personal destiny.
