Resumen del Editor
"Author and narrator Asha Bromfield offers an engrossing performance of this coming-of-age audiobook. Bromfield's experience as an actress and her ease with Jamaican Patois will draw listeners into a story that has multiple levels of emotional intensity." (AudioFile Magazine)
This program is read by the author, and includes a bonus conversation between the author and Tiffany D. Jackson.
In this sweeping debut, Asha Bromfield takes listeners to the heart of Jamaica, and into the soul of a girl coming to terms with her family, and herself, set against the backdrop of a hurricane.
Tilla has spent her entire life trying to make her father love her. But every six months, he leaves their family and returns to his true home: the island of Jamaica.
When Tilla’s mother tells her she’ll be spending the summer on the island, Tilla dreads the idea of seeing him again, but longs to discover what life in Jamaica has always held for him.
In an unexpected turn of events, Tilla is forced to face the storm that unravels in her own life as she learns about the dark secrets that lie beyond the veil of paradise - all in the midst of an impending hurricane.
Hurricane Summer is a powerful coming of age story that deals with colorism, classism, young love, the father-daughter dynamic - and what it means to discover your own voice in the center of complete destruction.
A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books
"This is an excellent examination of the ways wealth, gender, and color can shape and at times create mental and emotional fractures. Verdict: A great title for public and high school libraries looking for books that offer a nuanced look at patriarchy, wealth, and gender dynamics." (School Library Journal starred review)
"Bromfield may have made a name for herself for her role on Riverdale, but with this debut, about a volatile father-daughter relationship and discovering the ugly truths hidden beneath even the most beautiful facades, she is establishing herself as a promising writer...this is a must." (Booklist starred review)

Historia
Pulga has his dreams. Chico has his grief. Pequeña has her pride. And these three teens have one another. But none of them have illusions about the town they've grown up in. Even with the love of family, threats lurk around every corner. And when those threats become all too real, the trio knows they have no choice but to run: from their country, from their families, from their beloved home. Crossing from Guatemala through Mexico, they follow the route of La Bestia, the perilous train system that might deliver them to a better life - if they are lucky enough to survive the journey.

Historia
Ainsley came into my life in a flurry of vibrant colors, lighting my world up when all seemed lost. It wasn't our quiet nights by the creek or stolen kisses surrounded by a sea of cotton that saved me. It was her. She was my comfort when life threw one ugly tragedy after another at me. Until she dealt me the greatest blow. Now, abandonment, betrayal, and death darken every corner of my life. Anger and hurt burn bright where love and trust once lived. But now she's back.

When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops. I was the awkward musician, and she was the high school queen. The only things we had in common were our music and our loneliness. Something in her eyes told me her smile wasn't always the truth. Something in her voice gave me a hope I always wished to find. And in a flash, she was gone. Years later, she was standing in front of me on a street in New Orleans. She was different, but so was I.

Historia
What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences? This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels. Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but Anna, the ultimate good girl, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. It isn't until she turns 16 and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test.

I was warned about Tristan Cole. "Stay away from him," people said. "He's cruel." "He's cold." "He's damaged." It's easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster. But I couldn't do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him, because it also lived inside of me.

And Irie and Jilly come from very different backgrounds: Irie is from the heart of Kingston, where fighting in the streets is common. Jilly is from the hills, where mansions nestled within lush gardens remain safe behind gates. But the two bond through a shared love of Reggae music, spending time together at Irie's father's record store, listening to so-called rebel music that opens Jilly's mind.

Historia
It's 1976 and Jamaica is on fire. The country is on the eve of important elections and the warring political parties have made the divisions between the poor and the wealthy even wider. And Irie and Jilly come from very different backgrounds: Irie is from the heart of Kingston, where fighting in the streets is common. Jilly is from the hills, where mansions nestled within lush gardens remain safe behind gates. But the two bond through a shared love of Reggae music, spending time together at Irie's father's record store, listening to so-called rebel music that opens Jilly's mind.

For Zuberi, Uzochi, and Lencho, Nubia is a mystery. Before they were born, a massive storm destroyed their ancestral homeland, forcing their families to flee across the ocean to New York City. Nubia, a utopic island nation off the coast of West Africa, was no more, and their parents’ sorrow was too deep for them to share much of their history beyond the folklore. But New York, ravaged by climate change and class division, is far from a safe haven for refugees, and Nubians live as outcasts.

Beautiful disaster. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of her. Who hurt you? The first question comes to mind when I open my mouth to greet her. Although it wasn't the easiest to reach, I knew her heart was pure. Gentle to the touch yet stubborn as a bull, she made it hard to resist her. Unintentionally, she sank her hooks in me. She was the calm before my storm. A thunderous, darkening storm with lightning that graciously exposed the paternity of my brother and me. Though the gloom of it all lingered above both our heads.

Excellent narration, strong story
I absolutely love it when authors narrate their own books. I think it brings an extra layer of depth to the story, especially when there are accents like the Jamaican patois in this novel. Asha Bromfield has a gorgeous voice and was the only choice for Tilla.
I gave the story four stars only because it was definitely a difficult story to listen to given Tilla's fragile relationship with her father and the environment she was thrust into in Jamaica. There was always an impending sense of danger, made more realistic because you got the sense that maybe these were situations that the author herself had been in before. Tilla's strength and development through the novel helped, especially when she would self-soothe (in Asha's beautiful, calming voice).

When You're The Hurricane of the Season
Wow, just wow. This is truly a must read. Asha tackles colorism with the Black Race, abandonment, rape, incest, jealously, secrets and finding Home. Tilla the protagonist, is a fearless Jamaican born girl who now lives in Canada. Her and her sister Mia went to the yard, (countryside of Jamaica) for the summer to spend time with their father. Upon arriving they aren't greeting with the love they should. Tilla sees wayyy too much while on the island, I cried and smiled throughout this book. My heart smiled when she confronted her evil aunts, cousin, uncle, and most of all her "father". I cringed every time they referred to her father as Mass Tyson short for Master Tyson. Asha gave us an upfront view of the culture and daily country life of Jamaicans. I was sad it ended.... when can we get more Asha Bromfield. #Book31of2021 #bookworm #whatsnext

Loved It! A very good read!
Recently I wanted to get back into reading and Hurricane Summer is the first book I have completed that wasn’t a required reading for school or anything. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster. The feelings of the main character were so strong and although I’m not Jamaican, I could relate to some of the main topics. I also liked hearing about the Jamaican culture and hearing their language. I followed along while listening to the audiobook and that was the best decision! Asha Bromfield did an amazing job at making the characters come alive. She has a new book that will be released this year and I’ll definitely be purchasing it!

4.5 stars
4.5 stars. This was a good book. I wish Tilla tells everybody’s secret. That child been through so much. The labels they put on her, the child maltreatment, the assault, the physical and mental neglect of her father, and her silence. Tilla lost a lot that summer in Jamaica, but I’m glad she found herself. I was saddened that she lost her best friend. I hope there’s a part 2 to this book. Glad to hear the author narrate her own book. Love the insight and interview with Tiffany D. Jackson at the end. Great job for your first book.

Loved listening to this story. The author's voice really brought the characters to life. I was screaming and crying and laughing all the emotions came out. Can't wait to read more from Ms. Bromfield, she is a true storyteller and has a powerful way with words.
