Stone haven

A beautiful young Quaker missionary, arriving in Jamaica in 1920 to teach at Happy Grove School, defies her family's colour prejudice and marries a prospering local planter. Stone Haven is the house he builds for her: a house on a hill, looking out over the lush green landscape to the sea. Through family crises and political upheavals, Grace attempts to steer a steady course. But family life can become a struggle for money, power and love, and over the years Grace's idealism is to be challenged in many different ways.
