Description

1854. Emily Dawson has always been the poor cousin in a prosperous English merchant clan, merely a vicar's daughter, until she receives an unexpected inheritance: a sugar plantation in Barbados. But she finds the place a burnt-out shell, reduced to ruins in 1816. Why then are the neighboring plantation owners so eager to acquire the place? The answer lies in the past, in a tangled history of lies, greed, clandestine love, and heartbreaking betrayal.
