The Sugar and the Sea
Two women, separated by centuries, are bound by a single, heartbreaking secret. In 1845, Asha, an indentured laborer, risks everything for a forbidden love with a conflicted overseer, hiding the truth of their story in a sea cave as their world collapses. In the present day, Maya, adrift and grieving, inherits her grandmother's crumbling Mauritian house and uncovers a cryptic diary that leads her to Asha's legacy. Guided by a determined journalist and haunted by a powerful prophecy, Maya must unearth the past to reclaim her family's stolen land and identity, discovering that the greatest treasure is not gold, but a truth the sea itself has been waiting to reveal.
