Sylvia Thorpe: No More A-Roving

Bethany Court, daughter of a rich sugar-planter, was one of the few people who did not see slavery as an accepted part of life in Barbados. So she did what little she could to help and protect the unfortunate white bondservants and Negro slaves forced to labour on the plantations…

But when Bethany’s compassion for those in bondage led her to befriend Jared Vernon, a roving soldier-of-fortune condemned to slavery for his part in the Duke of Monmouth’s rebellion, her efforts to help him changed the ordered course of her life…

For, estranged from her family and from Pierce Warren, her betrothed, Bethany was forced to endure bitter humiliation and great danger… but she also learnt the true meaning of love and happiness.
