This novel takes place in the Virgin Islands. In the early 1900's, they become American. A ship has sunk in the Caribbean Sea. The boat belonged to and was captained by Owen Arthur Bradshaw. Owen and his family: Antoinette (wife), Eeona & Anette (daughters). They are wealthy and live at Villa by the Sea.
Owen has other women. Rebekah is one of them. Antoinette and Rebekah are both pregnant at the same time. Antoinette tries to get rid of the child through magic, but doesn't succeed.
Eeona believes that she was born to a higher order. Anette is more realistic.

This is a story about magic, families, incestuous relationships and what all of that can cause in life. Well written and makes you feel as if you are a real part of the story.
