A steamy saga of love, passion, and greed, Egrets to the
Flames introduces the Hamptons, a wealthy, privileged family
of sugar cane growers.
Trouble in the fields: patriarch James Henry Hampton must
struggle to maintain his holdings, as forces seek retribution
for the egregious impact on the environment and the exploitation
of Jamaican sugar cane cutters.
As he juggles
a wife and a mistress, James Henry’s family unravels. He must
fight to save son Henny from self-destruction and a disastrous
marriage to a field hand’s pregnant daughter. Son Jeffrey and
his bride face immeasurable loss, while daughter Melisandra
marries an impoverished prince intent on taking her riches at
any cost. In the end, James Henry will face his toughest battle
yet -- a battle that may be his last.
Will the very
things that hold this family together ultimately tear them
apart?
A splendid
story of the clash between old and new, and the struggle between
holding on and letting go, Egrets to the Flames is a
triumphant tale about ties, tradition, and temptation. |
