Publisher's Synopsis
Hope opens up about her life as a Creole who dares to aspire for greatness on the island of St. James. As she moves about in the shadow of Master Livingston, and under the watchful eyes of her servant, Angela, she fantasizes about becoming a planter in the sugar industry. Upon befriending Gloria Hanover, the most powerful woman on the island, the young woman becomes immersed into a world where seduction, cruelty and witchcraft were used as powerful means of dominance. In the midst of social upheaval and economic uncertainties, bitter hearts create room for revenge.
