Intense & magical story of a lonely woman who finds herself

This is one of the books that I read as a young woman that made me re-think my purpose and life. It is full of themes about self worth, the sicknesss of racism, the trust of true friends and the promise of the hope of the future. "Fiona" is a story that will uplift and carry the reader through the violence of the slave uprisings in the islands. It is to me a kind of "Gone with the Wind" but with more purpose and less selfishness and bigotry.Try this one. You will learn and laugh. You will not be sorry.
