Selah Banning has come of age on the West Indies island of Nevis, shaped by experiences far beyond the typical
upbringing of a young British lady in 1776. She never anticipated that the most tumultuous time of her life might
await her in the year ahead.
Jedediah Reed, a young Methodist preacher with a call to serve the slaves of Nevis, has settled at Selahโs familyโs
plantation, the Double T. As Selahโs heart is drawn to the same people, their shared purpose brings them togetherโ
despite her guardiansโ concern about a romance that promises little security for the future.
While Jedediahโs faith and Selahโs abolitionist leanings lead to changes on the plantation, the Revolutionary War
continues to build in the States. With the threat of starvation and the conflict with island mogul Angus Shubert
growing ever stronger, the future of the Double T and its people hangs in the balance.
