Natural Born

By Robert W. Lamont

Being born a bastard amid the rough and tumble Highlands of Scotland opened few opportunities for John Lamont as he entered the 1800s. Suffering isolation within his clan, he sets his course across the Atlantic to find opportunity in the sugar trade on the Island of Trinidad. New to the slave trade, he must reconcile his traditional values with the economic reality of the marketplace. Tribal conflicts carried from a continent away, only serve to complicate his enterprise. After struggling to establish himself within this new social order, he finds a growing abolitionist movement in London seeking to undercut the very foundation of the industry that has secured his position on the island. Emersed in his labors, loneliness drives him to reconnect with his clan and take a chance on love beyond social norms.
