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.
