Eyes of East Florida

In 1768, Sebastian Krizomatis arrives in the colony as an indentured worker determined to build a future in the New World. His hopes are tied to Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a medical doctor turned plantation owner, who places the livelihood of his growing family and the settlement's laborers at risk.Among those striving to preserve what remains is Maria Gracia, the landowner's Greek wife and mother of four children. Recognizing the consequences of her husband's decisions, and witnessing the immense suffering among the settlement's Mediterranean workers, she quietly works to protect both her family and the plantation workers whose fortunes have become intertwined with her own.Continuing the journey begun in Tears of Chios, Scions of Smyrna, and Mists of Menorca, this fourth novel carries the series beyond the Mediterranean into a new British colony in North America. Richly grounded in the history of eighteenth-century East Florida, it explores immigration, perseverance, loyalty, community, and the enduring search for a place to call home.
