In the final decade of the 1800s, spirited teenager Toni McGann is living a thoroughly modern American life with her family in Long Island. From a stable, comfortable background, Toni has a bright future ahead of her. Then she meets wealthy, cultured, Rafael, heir to a sugar plantation — and to a turbulent political future. As the young couple prepares to marry, Toni finds herself entranced by her fiancé's family, their lifestyle — and by their English friend, John Lisle.
Against her own instincts, Toni marries Rafael, not knowing that in doing so she has sealed her own fate, and her own role in Cuba's struggle against Spanish rule. And as events unfold, it becomes clear that Rafael and his family are much more embroiled in political rebellion than Toni could ever have dreamed, and that as a result their lifestyle, their country — even their own lives — are at stake. Toni’s marriage into a Cuban planter family makes rebellion, torture and American intervention immediate family matters, linking the McGanns to the imperial and commercial politics of the 1890s Caribbean.
