Island Tales: Sugar & Secrets

A family heirloom
Cries of resistance
The call to tell the world….

Amaya loves to visit her grandmother. Those visits are full of sweetbread and stories – especially stories about their ancestors – the days of the past.

When Grandma gives her a mysterious gift, Grandma’s stories became real. Amaya is swept away into an action packed adventure, meeting her ancestor Josh and learning how to blend into life on a plantation in the year 1810.

But now, while Josh does his part to keep Amaya from being discovered by the overseers, a bigger threat is blooming. Can Josh and Amaya survive the flames of resistance that threaten to overtake the way of life on the plantation?

Follow Amaya’s journey to learn the secrets of her past in Sugar & Secrets, the first book in the Island Tales: Caribbean Historical Series!
