Continuing the saga of Sam and Tony Brownfield, portrayed in "Ginger Lily", Sam and Tony are living in Barbados, in the west coast beach house - named Ginger Lily- and getting on with their lives, bringing up Sam and Albert's son, Ray, and Tony's son, Douglas, and daughter, Charmaine. All is going well until Albert appears on the scene. He had re-married in London, but when the second wife left him he decided to return to Barbados and help run his parents' small farm. Some conflict and intrigue follow this move, but Tony and Sam remain steadfast in their marriage. Ray and Douglas are at boarding-school in England, and Doug springs a surprise - not an altogether pleasant one - on the family. Social events and intriguing political activities form an expose into life in Barbados in the 1960's and 70's. Albert surprises everyone by becoming a Born Again Christian, marries a Canadian woman and goes off to Canada to live. Unfortunately, tragedy follows, but is eventually coupled with some joy.
