An unexpected meeting sets Rose on a path to love and future happiness.
When family secrets and even the forces of nature stack against her, the way to a happy-ever-after slips away.
On the West Indian island of Dominica in 1889, Rose was abandoned by her father Antoine on the day she was born, after her mother Nanette died in childbirth. Rose’s mixed heritage makes her an outcast to both of her parents’ families and she grows up with an adoptive family without a true sense of her identity.
When Rose turns sixteen, she meets the poor but charismatic sailor Raphael and a romantic connection blooms, only to be put on hold because of a tremendous hurricane.
Employed by wealthy widow, Elise La Fleur, Rose develops a close friendship with her. But when Elise accuses Rose of stealing her beloved locket, Rose’s world is thrown into disarray.
Can the locket be the key that unlocks her past and the secrets of her birth?
Start reading this captivating historical fiction of race, forbidden love and identity today.
