While still a baby, the family moved from Jamaica to England as a result of the destruction of the family home by the 1951 Hurricane Charlie. As an intelligent and energetic young man, Wilson used his imagination and creativity, whether learning from his older brother or sharing his experiences with younger siblings. In early spring of 1967, as a teenager, he returned to Jamaica with his family. Jamaica seemed to be completely foreign to him. He was not looking forward to leaving his friends and starting a new life in a foreign country. Wilson's father introduced him to an old friend, a noteworthy jeweler in Kingston. This was the beginning of a four-year apprenticeship and a forty-nine-year career. Wilson married a Michigan girl, who he met while they were both attending West Indies College (currently NCU). They lived in New York in the 1970s. The union was blessed with a boy and a girl. They settled in Pennsylvania for thirty-four years, and Wilson established his full service jewelry store between 1982 and 2016. Two of those years, he presided over the town's business community. Wilson retired in 2016. To date, this is Leonard Archie Wilson's second novel. His first novel was entitled A Jamaican Family's Saga.
