Fred's Writing Journey

In this uplifting and deeply personal memoir, Fred Rose takes you on a journey from Blue Gate, Jamaica, to the four corners of the world. A former teacher, engineer, real estate professional, and lifelong learner, Fred has lived a life defined by hard work, unexpected detours, and unwavering faith.
My Hill and Gully Ride is more than a book—it’s a story for dreamers, doers, and anyone who’s ever wondered if their background was too small for big dreams. From barefoot days in St. Mary to boardroom decisions in Washington, D.C., Fred’s voice is equal parts wisdom and wit.
Whether you're flipping through for inspiration, motivation, or just a good laugh, you'll find it here. Because, as Fred puts it: "What matters most isn’t where you start—it’s how you ride.”
