The Cherry Tree: A historical romance set in the British colonial era

by D.A. Marks

Catherine Chalmers is twenty-two, headstrong, smart and fiercely independent; unflattering traits for a woman in the 1920s.Alone after the death of her father and with little hope of supporting herself in post-war Liverpool, she journeys across the Atlantic Ocean to the British colony of Barbados to take a teaching post.Catherine is drawn to her new employer, Headmaster Charles Banbury, a social recluse grieving the loss of his wife. But finding the courage to pursue him at the risk of social ostracism is near impossible.She captures the attention of a titled gentleman who offers a comfortable future, but can she walk away from the one man who makes her heart beat as wildly as the storms that batter the Barbados coast in hurricane season?
