Chinaberry

William Lavender

The saga of *Chinaberry* tells of a sprawling plantation on the Mississippi; a place rife with blazing ambitions, forbidden desires and scandalous secrets, meshed together in a web that ensnare all who come within its reach. Daughter of the landowner, Julia Douglas, grows dangerously close to her "personal slave boy," Darby, with disastrous results for both of them. Will he ever forget her? Certainly she'll never forget him . . . the twist ending will leave you shaking your head in wonder.
