by Janice Sebring
No reviews yet. Be the first.

Home. José Albañez is desperate to return. Captured by the British at the Siege of Havana in 1762, he is sold as a slave, and at last finds himself in the colony of South Carolina, in Charles Town. Charles Town, a place of fragrant gardens and fetid mudflats, of powdered gentlemen and resentful Africans, of wealth and desperation, of piety and dissipation. There he is tormented by loneliness and wracked with worry about his family back in Cuba. José is determined to return home and find his family. What is he willing to do to escape?
