by Norah Lofts
Hester Roon was the bastard daughter of the scullery maid at the Fleece Inn, and a serving girl herself--until her master commanded her presence in his chambers. To escape from him, she ran away and joined London's sprawling underworld--until she was caught, cruelly convicted and transported to a strange, slave-run sugar plantation in the West Indies. There she found the only man who dared to challenge her wild, untamed spirit. . .

27 August 1904 – 10 September 1983
