Picked up from the free shelf at the used bookstore. From the cover:

"The island of St. Felice holds many secrets. It holds the secret of the crimes and exploitations of the early settlers; it holds the secret of the evil forces at work to keep its black natives out of power; it holds the secret of the passionate moment of abandon that threatened to destroy the life of the beautiful fifteen-year-old Tee Francis..."

Finished this some time ago but apparently never journaled it... I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It's old and tattered and I was expecting a run of the mill romance, but this book looks fairly deeply at the racial divide in the Caribbean. I think the weakest part was the action that left Tee pregnant in the first place; it didn't feel real and I couldn't figure out the characters' motivations. Otherwise, good story.
