DAWN OF FREEDOM is a contemporary romance novel about the redemptive power of love and art, set in a near-future, menacing ‘Trumpian' world, in which the Caribbean island of Barbados is oppressed by an authoritarian rightwing regime. ANNA, 36, a shy celebrated painter whose career has collapsed, is on the verge of suicide when, during a beach clean-up, a chance sensual kiss from BELLE, 30, a brilliant musician, shatters all her assumptions about herself, and promises to save her life and revive her painting career, but only if she can accept her surprising sexual feelings and growing love for Belle, who pursues her while Anna resists. But first, she must escape from her abusive marriage, confront the early trauma of her mother’s suicide, and accept her growing love for Belle. Belle’s pursuit of Anna is complicated by Anna’s attraction to her best friend, SYBIL’s lover MICHAEL, and takes place against the menacing background of a regime that becomes more murderous as the four friends are drawn into a web of intimacy riven with sexual and political tensions. Anna is close to success when she screws up disastrously. But her eventual acceptance of her love for Belle leads to her artistic and emotional redemption.
