About this ebook

In 1773 England, Lady Keturah Banning Tomlinson and her sisters find themselves the heiresses of their father's estates and know they have one option: Go to the West Indies to save what is left of their heritage.

Although it flies against all the conventions for women of the time, they're determined to make their own way in the world. But once they arrive in the Caribbean, proper gender roles are the least of their concerns. On the infamous island of Nevis, the sisters discover the legacy of the legendary sugar barons has vastly declined--and that's just the start of what their eyes are opened to in this unfamiliar world.

Keturah never intends to put herself at the mercy of a man again, but every man on the island seems to be trying to win her hand and, with it, the ownership of her plantation. She could desperately use an ally, but even an unexpected reunion with a childhood friend leaves her questioning his motives.

Set on keeping her family together and saving her father's plantation, can Keturah ever surrender her stubbornness and guarded heart to God and find the healing and love awaiting her?

Ratings and reviews

This is book one in the Sugar Baron's Daughters series. I look forward to reading more from this family. The author does a great job at developing her characters and keeping you interested in what is going on. I can see where this is a series, each book probably being somewhat of a stand alone, however you will miss out on lots of history if you do not start at the beginning. This book is full of history, family, learning, going against the grain, forgiveness and of course some romance. I loved how through every location the Banning sisters find themselves in there is excitement, determination and so much more. This book focus' primarily on the eldest Banning sister, Lady Keturah Banning Tomlinson, She is a wounded, determined lady. She must make a go of a failing Sugar can plantation to survive and be of any help to her sisters. She does not feel she needs to be under the authority of any man, regardless of what the customs dictate.

Page Turner for sure, full of trials and adventure, hard to put down, wish book 2 was out now !
