Angeline (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781944104313)

Angeline is a riveting portrait of a Jamaican ex-slave introduced in For the Love of Livian, the second book of the Jim Hawkins Series. Angeline is the bold, resourceful, and feisty 18-year-old daughter of Dominique, the ex-mistress of a Jamaican rebellion leader. Schooled in the three Rs by her once Scottish Jamaican owners, Angeline is a free woman: literate, strong, and determined to have control over her destiny. Transported to England, she and her mother work tirelessly weaving cotton sheets for the Haslar Royal Naval Hospital.Angeline's life is forever altered by vicious attacks, and her courageous battle against Portsmouth's racism, power hierarchy, duplicity, deception, and murder. Her fearlessness surprises everyone, especially the Jamaican ex-slaves who toil at the docks and shipyards, bonded in superstition to an evil witchdoctor. In page after page until a dramatic ending, Angeline discovers her internal strengths, and fights for justice and respect in the 1772 streets of Portsmouth, England.
