Two Sisters Synopsis

In this heart-stopping adventure based on real historical events, Kereen Getten takes readers on a journey of sisterhood, struggle and survival from Jamaica to Britain.

'She was rarely afraid, and even if she was … she still stood her ground, because Ruth never faltered in what she believed in.'

Ruth and Anna are inseparable.

When Ruth and Anna are shipped off to Master John's home in London for their safety, it isn't the haven they imagined. Their differences force them apart - Anna is allowed to stay upstairs while Ruth is banished to the servants' quarters and is forced to work.

With whispers of freedom on the city's streets, will Anna find the courage to stand up for Ruth before it's too late?
