Lies, passion, and intrigue – welcome to Havers End!
This enthralling historical fiction prequel begins The James Saga.
Edward James has a firm grip on the Havers End slave plantation. From the outside, the James family is a respectable, wealthy Southern family but away from polite society, there are deep-seated divisions.
His son, Lawrence James, is set to take charge of the plantation. Yet, his son’s refusal to accept slavery as part of his birthright leaves Edward exasperated, and leads to frequent clashes between them.
His youngest daughter, Madeleine James, is never happy unless she is meddling in other people’s affairs and Edward wonders whether she will ever be able to function as an adult without him.
His biggest concern is his eldest daughter, Belvedere Rossiter, whose marriage to her husband, Nicholas, is in turmoil. Edward wants Belvedere to be happy. Can she resolve her differences with her husband, or will she be able to find true happiness?
