THE RETURN OF LATCHMINI
A Historical Novel
The Demerara Series # 1
by
S. T. Shah Roath

A young woman, who left British India to become an
indentured servant on a plantation in the West Indies, faces
challenges to maintain her morality, secure a safe place for her
children, and survive post-emancipation struggles. Making the
journey three times, across three oceans, did not make Latchmini
immune to the hazards of traveling as a single mom, a lone
woman on a ‘Coolie’ ship during the Indian Indentureship
period, even in 1894 when some systems were established for
the protection of passengers. Adventures on the plantation in
Demerara were so different from her simple survival
experiences in Suriname, all very different from life in
Allahabad, North India.
