Julian “Jingles” Reynolds, a seasoned journalist, author, and filmmaker, has released his thought-provoking novel A Reason for Living—now available for readers worldwide. This powerful work of historical fiction dives deep into the heart of 1960s Jamaica, capturing a period of intense social, political, and cultural transformation.

At the center of the novel is Howard Baxter, a young man born into privilege who becomes increasingly disillusioned with the wealth and influence of his family’s real estate empire. Instead of following the path laid out for him, Howard chooses a different course—pursuing his passion for art and immersing himself in the realities faced by Jamaica’s working class. His life becomes intertwined with the struggles of revolutionaries, artists, and Rastafarian thinkers as the country stands on the edge of upheaval.

A Reason for Living is a gripping exploration of identity, social justice, and the power of cultural awakening. It delves into the personal impact of colonialism and class divides, while also celebrating the resilience of a people determined to shape their destiny. Through vivid storytelling, rich character development, and emotionally resonant moments, Reynolds delivers a novel that is both deeply Jamaican and universally human.

Now available in multiple formats, the book invites readers to reflect on their own roles in the struggle for justice, equity, and freedom.
