STANLEY
Subtitle: Novel inspired by the life of Stanley Ann Dunham mother of President Barack Obama
Description: This novel STANLEY was inspired by the dedicated work of Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro in the last year of her life in Indonesia, who died before her son Barack Obama became President of the United States of America. In real life. Stanley’s father had wished for a boy. When she was born, he surprisingly named her Stanley. In her life, the admirable and legendary Stanley Ann Dunham Soeteoro became an American Economic Anthropologist who worked diligently and with great compassion in helping the peasants of Kajar, Indonesia. Maxwell has written this novel by creating a family of villagers and friends around a woman named Stanley. We are privy to Stanley’s inner most thoughts as she explores the depth of love and friendship in search of her own identity as she is working to obtain microfinance loans to help the Indonesian cottage industries.
REVIEW "Kareena Maxwell's novel STANLEY is steadily arresting and parts of it are imbued with the same kind of indefinable beauty of Fitzgerald's or Faulkner's lyrical prose."
- Ward Morehouse III, author, playwright
