Triumph to Tragedy, Book One, covers the roots of the revolution, stemming between the period of 1771-1793, through the love story of young Jean and Marie. Book Two inserts you into the action with Toussaint Louverture from slave to free man, plantation owner, the great military General of the Colonial Army, and finally Governor General of Saint Domingue. Both Book One and Two allow readers to follow the protagonists’ incredible triumph and later their heartbreaking tragedy, the effects of which can still be felt in present-day Haiti.
In Book Two, follow the adventures of Toussaint Louverture as he builds a coalition with other historical figures, such as Henry Christophe, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and others to consolidate power and rule a colony trapped in the dichotomy of history through the Triumphs and eventual Tragedies of their time.
