Description
Empire's Children by Patricia Weerakoon tells the story of Shiro, the daughter of a native tea-maker, who defies the class distinctions entrenched in the tea plantation life of Sri Lanka. With dreams of becoming a missionary doctor, Shiro wishes only for the freedom to play with her best friend, Lakshmi, despite the latter being a coolie labourer.
Into their world step Anthony Ashley Cooper and his brother William, heirs to the tea plantations. From childhood, the brothers have been taught to disdain Sri-Lankan natives, viewing labourers merely as tools for personal gain and company profit.
Will Shiro's aspirations be fulfilled, or will obstacles stand in her path? Can Lakshmi transcend the limitations of her societal status? And will Anthony and William ever acknowledge the true worth of those around them?

About the Author
Patricia Weerakoon is a medical doctor-cum-academic turned sexologist and writer. She was director of an internationally renowned graduate program in sexual health at the University of Sydney, but retired in 2012 to pursue her passion for writing and public speaking. She writes romantic fiction with a social conscience, bringing together her international experience in sexual health and her love for her homeland of Sri Lanka. Her non-fiction books are gold-standard guides for good sex for all ages. As a sexologist she has translated her passion to bring good holistic sexual health to all people into practical sex education, sex research and sex therapy. Her writing and speaking brings together her enthusiasm for sex and her love for the glory of God. Patricia has a recognised media presence and is a popular public speaker and social commentator in Australia. Her first novel with Rhiza Press is Empire's Children.
