Copyright 1981 by Souvenir Press Emma Delaney, who knows nothing of life's shams, is forced into an arranged marriage with Oliver Foy, a wealthy Jamaican planter, only to discover he is a sadist and a beast. She can tell no one. She is trapped. But after he abuses her unmercifully, she runs away and sails the Caribbean with her faithful Chinese friend Daniel. For three years Daniel's ship is their home. Sometimes Emma disguises herself as a boy. More frequently, she pretends to be a coolie girl who speaks only pidgin English. It is in this guise that she meets - and saves the life of - a man whose friendship drastically alters her destiny. But the masquerade continues. In England Emma falls in love with someone she must pretend not to love. Still no one knows who she really is. One day past secrets will have to be shed. But will the man she loves accept the woman she was so long ago?...
