The Man I Love And Me, by Willis Burris About the Author Willis Burris is an international man: by vision and experience. He is a Caribbean born accountant, economist, educator and now the author of his first non-fiction book, The Man I Love & Me. Willis is one of ten children from the union of Anderson Burris and Augustina (John) Burris, birthed and raised in Tobago. As a young boy, he accepted a previously unknown religion along with the other members of his family. Willis was first educated at the village primary school before attending high school at the most prestigious institute on the island. In high school, he focused his studies primarily on scientific subjects and literature. While at Bishop’s High School, he became the head prefect, head cadet officer, and captain of Bowles House, one of the student-body’s four challenge groups. Willis was also a talented cricketer throughout elementary and high school. After brief stints with a state utility company and a leading commercial bank in Tobago, Willis moved to Trinidad to work for a family-owned company. He then studied Advanced Level Economics and reoriented his academic efforts on accounting, economics and business management. In 1987, Willis migrated to the United States of America (USA) to attend York College in New York, graduating in 1990. After college, Willis worked in Manhattan as a corporate accountant and later married Jamaican born educator, Beverley March. He then completed a Master of Business Administration degree at Pace University. After a few more years of living and working in the USA, Beverley and Willis migrated to Israel for five years, where he again worked in high level accounting, finance and investment management. The couple returned to the United States in 2002, first settling in Georgia and then Illinois, where Willis was an Assistant Controller of accounting. Seeking a warmer climate, they later moved to the “Sunshine State” of Florida in 2007, where he worked as a Corporate Controller of financial operations. In 2009, Willis fulfilled a life-long dream and entered the field of education. He was selected “Rookie Teacher of the Year” after his first year of teaching by the Seminole County Public Schools Board, in Florida, an “A” rated school district. Willis also holds a diploma in education for grades K-12 (kindergarten through twelfth grade), with four subject area specialties. He currently resides near Orlando, Florida with his wife Beverley.

TMILAM - The Man I Love & Me By Peter Conn I have just read a deeply engaging heartfelt account of a village father's life story and legacy as seen through the eyes of his successful globe trotting son. Set against the background of a Caribbean island, Tobago, this is biography and autobiography, and is rich in heartfelt accolades. Many readers will find, as I did, Willis's testimonials to the power of family and his father uplifting, and will come away inspired and convinced that true progress can be achieved with a patriarch of the caliber of Mr. Burris Sr. A delightful, refreshing read, The Man I Love And Me

People who have had great and loving parents are usually humble enough to credit them with an impact on their life which led to them becoming and developing into the people they did. Looking at the biography of Mr Burris and hearing of the loving and supportive relationship he had with his father, one can easily saw how he was encouraged by that love to achieve what he has achieved.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Man I Love and Me By Amazon Customer Dear Willis,I have completed my reading of “The Man I Love and Me”. As you know, this was no small feat since the book was commandeered by my mother upon its delivery and I was told in no uncertain terms that “I should not wait on it as she was going to read it first and then give it to me”! (smile)When I was finally granted permission to lay hands upon the book, it was officially turned over with this declaration from mother dearest: “God will bless him for the love he has for his father and family. I liked the book, it was very good. He came from humble beginnings and never forgot his roots. He is a good man”.Brother Willobee, like mother like daughter, I also share her sentiments after experiencing the vivid memories of a grateful son for the first example set for him, by his father, of what it means to be a gentleman of character. There were so many, many emotions that I navigated as a reader who, like you, is a descendant of the peoples making up our dearly loved Caribbean.The book made me smile. Made me cry. Made me laugh out loud. Made me reflective and grateful. And it made me proud to have the bounty of sharing in the unbreakable bond of deep love and respect that was shared between you and your father.As part of the baby-boomer generation who adopted a value system that equates self worth with material wealth, to read of the spirit of joy, fun, camaraderie, discipline, love, respect and nobility your parents instilled in their family of ten; to relive the sheer enjoyment that children of our age in the islands had, every day of their lives, simply by partaking of Mother Nature’s freely given gifts; to read a phrase or sentence and have my own childhood memories come bursting through to the present; to be reminded of the shared culture and history of these tiny islands dotting the Caribbean sea, when you describe the majestic and non-pretentious beauty of village life; to relive the simple and genuine spirit of family our island people carry for each other, especially in small rural communities; and to be awed by the sweetness, intricacy, depth, rhythm, wit, brilliance and sensual nature of our island dialects, all combined to swell my spirit with gratitude for the profound lessons your book offers to readers.If you had not written this book then you would have done a grave disservice to the living legacy of an ordinary man who, through the courage of his conviction, the passion of his faith, the strength of his steadfastness and the sacrificial efforts of his unwavering labour, proved that extraordinary achievements and examples can be had by anyone who is willing to live his/her life based on the principles of justice, truth and generosity.This is a book about the undaunting power of love and faith and persistent effort to transform a “gnat into an eagle” and to raise up within one generation a new race of man reflecting the Light of goodness that is shinning from Mount Carmel.Well done and thank you so very much for the gift of this love story between father and son!Debbie Kirton
