Eleanor Bennett won't let her secrets die with her . . . When Eleanor's estranged children Benny and Byron reunite for her funeral, they receive an unexpected inheritance. First, a traditional Caribbean black cake, to remind them of their roots.

Or will it reunite them and fulfil Eleanor's final wish?
