Book Description
Daughter of a black slaveholder father, Anne Hart Gilbert and Elizabeth Hart Thwaites were among the first educators of slaves and free African Caribbeans in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Antigua. These members of the "free colored" community who married white men and played an active role as educators, antislavery activists, and Methodist evangelicals were also among the first African Caribbean female writers. This exceptional volume offers for the first time a collection of their writings. Because the records of the Hart sisters are rare and original testimony from black women of the time, they will be of great interest to the modern scholar. Autobiographical and biographical narrative, along with antislavery tracts, hymns, devotional poetry, and religious documents vividly reveal the lives of these courageous women. Their writings illuminate the complex of racial, spiritual, and class- and gender-based divisions, as well as attitudes, of Anglophone Caribbean society. Moira Ferguson's introduction situates the Hart sisters in historical context and explains how their writings helped establish a specific black Antiguan cultural identity.

Book Description
Get the Hart Sister's Trilogy- all three, USA Today's Best Selling stories, for only $6.99! The Billionaire’s Secret Marriage Dante Liakos had yet another challenge to overcome in securing his business empire’s future, but this one was much more personal in nature – the need for a wife and an heir. Without them, he could lose control of the empire he had worked so hard to rebuild and expand. However, as he had found so many times before, turning a challenge into a success was about recognizing the right opportunity and acting upon it decisively. In Jayden Hart, he saw such an opportunity, enclosed in the rare combination of innocence, beauty and brilliance - a combination he couldn't resist despite his attempts to remain aloof from the relationship! Normally poised and self-assured, Jayden’s world had taken an alarming turn. What initially had seemed like a nuisance was quickly becoming a significant threat to her business, her family, and her whole way of life! And she had no idea how to avoid catastrophe. Dante’s suggested solution presented a potential lifeline, but with what strings attached? Would the solution be worse than the crisis that had required it? And how was she to avoid falling in love with her secret husband? The Italian’s Twin Surprise Five years ago, Janine Hart fell in love – and her world fell apart. She found herself pregnant and in love with a man who didn’t know how to love. Anyone! So she left and came back to the arms of her family, pulled her life together and gave birth to two beautiful twin daughters. Now Micah is back and he wants to try again. He’s willing to try things her way, but can she risk being hurt again? And how was she to explain that he was a father? How could she tell this powerful, Italian male that she wouldn’t put herself into that position again – especially when she couldn’t avoid falling into his arms? The Forbidden Russian Lover Jilted at the altar! Good grief, Jasmine really could pick ‘em! But she was resilient and decided to go on the honeymoon anyway. She would learn to live as an independent woman and be happy with her life. What she hadn’t anticipated was falling into the arms of the horrible, critical and enticingly handsome Antoniv Petrov. Literally! His strong arms and wealth were everything she could not want in a man. She had to find her own way! Her sisters had both fallen for wealthy, powerful men and Jasmine was determined to be different. Besides, Antoniv only wanted a sexual relationship and the Hart sisters seemed to have inherited a crazy fertility somehow – both had gotten pregnant despite precautions. So there was no way she was going to risk getting involved with the amazingly handsome Russian billionaire. There were too many reasons to stay away from them. But only one reason she couldn’t – she wanted him! Antoniv couldn’t believe the little spitfire who had fallen into his arms. She was a sexy little siren that he was determined to have in his bed. One by one, he eliminated all of the excuses she had for avoiding a relationship with him. And in the end, Atoniv Petrov always gets what he wants.
