From the West African coast, all the way to the sugar plantation fields in St Thomas, Jamaica, the transatlantic slave trade plays a major role in this epic story. One family's struggle through those dark times unfolds before our eyes, with hope on the horizon as opportunities are opened up following full emancipation. Anti-colonialist feelings fuelled by tragedy, compete with racial prejudices. Could a spiritual outlook be the answer? Maybe some positive minded people will show that it can. This tale begins in the mid eighteenth century and takes the reader all the way to the 1980's. And as with the first two books in the series, this final instalment has a wonderfully melodic set of 41 Lovers Rock songs throughout to enhance the storyline. True love will certainly be put to the test when circumstances force secret friends, 16 year old Miriam Shepherd and 17 year old Rensford Henderson, to be separated from each other for fifteen years! And what possible connection could Miriam have to the original idea behind an international haute couture business empire? In addition to all of the foregoing, on the same day when Martin Luther King gives his famous 'I have a dream' speech at the Lincoln Memorial, racial turmoil will have just ended in one UK city. Finally, Dennis and Sonia, Troy and Patsy, Junior and Marlena, and many of your other favourite characters from Lovers Rock 1 & 2, get together again for a fantastic time at a reggae music festival in Montego Bay.So, sit back, relax, and prepare to be transported in time through a two centuries long Lovers Rock musical that will take you from Jamaica to Cuba, the UK, Canada, and the USA.
