After being separated for ten long years by the Atlantic Ocean, Grace Bartholomew and Kindra Talmaze are reunited with a month-long vacation. It is now 1841, and both women have families of their own. Hearts are warmed when their children meet. Long after the vacation ends, friendship has bonded their daughters, Kit and Damaris, a friendship that will carry them over the high seas and for years to come.
Both daughters from wealthy plantations experience devastation that comes with the planters’ way of life. At Kindra Hall the tobacco fields are ravaged by pestilent hornworms, while on River Oak yellow fever breaks out and threatening hurricanes raise havoc on the home front.
All the while, impending doom is broiling. Enemies wait in the shadows to turn lives upside down.
Jule Spade awaits Tia’s release from prison and suspects she has something that belongs to him. Scoot Sweeny has a secret he’s carefully hiding. Morgan Blissmore is angry that he lost his long-time smuggling partner, Tia, and has a plan to make her pay. And Stanley Bernard’s scorn for those who forced him to leave Kindra Hall pushes him to get even. Turmoil is rumbling on the horizon; hearts are about to be torn and lives ripped apart in ways no one could have seen coming.
