A sugar plantation, a waterlily pond, and a decades-old deception are the backdrop for When Lily Ponds Ripple. It is a forceful narrative about the West Indian twins, Florence and Charlotte Montague.

Lisette Pannebaker speaks five languages and has a brilliant business plan - personal language immersion. Clients can hire her to shadow them and speak all day in any language they need to learn for business or travel - whatever. But there's a major hitch: she's far too pretty.
