The Winds of Courage Marilyn King

Publisher Marketing: A difficult journey awaits Kindra Cooper when she marries Denzel Talmaze. No sooner does she say, "I do," than her world is turned upside down. Fate takes an unexpected twist as she and Denzel sail to Barbados to claim her inheritance, a tobacco plantation. But can a black couple own a plantation--and slaves--and be accepted on an island controlled by white men? Will Kindra and her husband persevere and in the face of bigotry and violence? One man, more than any other, stands in their way. Stanley Bernard the plantation's foreman. Bernard spent years making the plantation highly profitable--and profitable for himself, too. He's not about to give up his lucrative lifestyle peacefully. Will Denzel do the unthinkable, a black man take charge over a white man? As the struggle in Barbados intensifies, Grace, Kindra's white sister, must also overcome her own share of adversity. Grace will need to find the grit to survive under strenuous circumstances when her husband, Cameron, sails to South Carolina to build their new rice plantation, leaving her alone at Cooper's Landing in the path of a slave rebellion. The Winds of Courage continues the saga that began in The Winds of Grace. It is one story of two incredible women who struggle to realize their dreams and over prejudice, violence and unexpected obstacles. Will they persevere and find the strength to build the lives they desire? Sometimes one has to go through a storm to find the courage to be free.
