Haggard Chronicles

The Haggard Chronicles examine a West Indian plantation fortune after its owners enter British society. John Haggard leaves Barbados in 1780 with Emma Dearborn, their children and enslaved servants, discovering that wealth cannot erase the legal and social contradictions created by slavery, illegitimacy and class.
