Saga
Lillian Baptiste is willed back to her island home of
Dominica to finally settle her past. Haunted by the scandal,
secrets, and rumors surrounding her birth, Lillian fled
Dominica when she was 15 years old upon discovering she was
Iris's daughter. Lillian always understood that there was
something about herself she did not know, something everyone
else around her did. But she never imagined this. Iris was
the half-crazy woman whose life was told of in chante mas
songs sung during Carnival. Iris was Matilda's daughter --
the same Matilda who was publicly hung in 1950 for murder.
Lillian discovers the truth and snaps -- driven to dig up
her mother's grave and lay with her bones. It was time for
Lillian to leave Dominica. But she would return to face down
the demons of her past, and with the help of Teddy, the man
her past has kept her from loving completely, will find a
way to heal.
