It is chastening to consider how easily fate can change our lives.
For Suki Brown, one small decision has a lifetime of consequences. Working as a wetnurse for a posh family, Suki makes a heartbreaking decision when their baby dies to switch her own child for the one who passed. Husband-less and nearly destitute, Suki must find the father of her child before she loses her son forever.
But the cad, Captain Jack, is off aboard the Bonny Beaufoy - a slaving ship charted across the Atlantic. But half-way through his journey, this cruel slave master seems to have a change of heart. Will this newfound respect for all human life be his saving grace or have him thrown in Bedlam?
In this epic 18th century saga, best-selling author Beryl Kingston takes her readers from Bath, to the West Indies, to Africa, and back to London in a quest for love and redemption.
Suki was first published in two parts: Only Young in 2000 and Only Human in 2001.
