By Lynda Edwards | Publisher: TL Edwards & Company Inc
About the book
Jamaica in the late 1700s and early 1800s was at a crossroads. The abolition of slavery was on the horizon. In the colonies, the white and black races had been mixing for generations. They had formed a new society with a culture born of oppression, harboring a deep desire to mix freely while charting a new course for themselves by taking the reins of freedom into their own hands. From the plantations of Jamaica to the gilded halls of Georgian England, a captivating array of characters inspire us to share their dreams, their passions, and their intimacy.This utopian fantasy transcends history's oppressive grasp and conjures up a romantic age where anything is possible. The legacy of bitterness and resentment that has poisoned the politics of future generations is rewritten. Instead, transporting us to a world with renewed faith in the possibilities that lie ahead. By showing us what might have been, Friendship Estate points the way to what might still be. If only?
