Jada Longbridge, the only daughter born to a teenaged peasant girl, Amelia, and the older but dashing Jake Longbridge, a married father of six and a member of the declining white Jamaican plantocracy. Jada grew up with a protective mother who kept her sheltered. Jada wore an air of superiority. At an early age, her mother instilled in her that she was special, different, and better than those in the peasant class community in which they lived. Privy to a tidy inheritance, left by Jake Longbridge for his illegitimate daughter, Amelia sent Jada away to charm school where she was taught singing, deportment, and fancy sewing. Jada was being prepared for her station in life; her mother had considered her 'middle class' and was set on marrying her off to the right man. On holidays, Jada would come home. It was on one of these trips home that Warren, a local village boy, had seduced the lovely Jada. Pregnant, for a poor village boy, while betrothed to Dr. Jordan Willoughby who lived in the prestigious Cumberland suburbs, many miles away, Jada's world had come crashing. For 69 years Jada's heart had throb for someone else, she was hurting deep inside but she had concealed the hurt. Now gravely ill and lying in a long-term care facility, she revealed it to her middle-aged children. But will they believe her - after all they had only known a loving father who was no longer around to defend himself. Had she risk losing her children at a time when she needed them most?
