Cheri met Jah B in 1994 when she came to Jamaica to find the guest house she had ‘dreamed’ in 1979 she was to have in retirement. Instead, she met Jah B; they instantly fell in love and were married in 1996, raising two sons in Philadelphia. In 2007, Jah B, with a contractor friend and family expertise, built our guest home, finishing by 2017. The name combines our November birthstones—topaz, plus both our dreams, plus it looks like a palace, doesn’t it! Be ready to be treated like the Queens and Kings you are!
