In the 18th century Dutch plantation colony of Suriname, where wealth is measured by the number of slaves one owns, the educated Free Negress Elisabeth Samson, owner of several flourishing coffee plantations, desires the one thing her wealth cannot buy: a legal marriage with her consort, a white colonial officer.

But can she overcome the strict Dutch laws forbidding marriage between black and white against the powerful forces of the colonial Governor, the white planters who make up the Court of Justice, and the Society of Suriname, who covet her property, call her “whore” and accuse her of treason?

ELISABETH SAMSON, FORBIDDEN BRIDE is based on the true story of the first black woman in 18th century Suriname to receive permission from the Dutch government to marry white.

“Enjoyable and enlightening. There is opulence and brutality, human kindness and primitive madness. Readers will not be disappointed.” Nevada Woman Magazine.
