FREEDOM'S SONG by KIM VOGEL SAWYER

Publication date 19/10/21
FREEDOM'S SONG by KIM VOGEL SAWYER is a really lovely historical romance novel with a strong Christian message based on John 8:36 "if the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
We meet Fanny Beck singing for the guests on the River Peacock as Sloan Kirkpatrick's prisoner and money maker. This lonely life comes to an abrupt end when she falls overboard. She makes it to shore and seizes this chance to escape, joining up with runaway slaves, Enoch and his family, who become her first friends in seven lonely years. I like to see her interaction with these people who teach her about true freedom, and also her compassion towards Anneliese, who she finds alone and crying in Walter Kuhn's cabin. In all this we see how God works to bring about His purpose in a person's life.
Walter has suffered from fear since he was bullied at school and he feels guilty that he did not save his wife Grete when she ran into their burning barn.
I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you.
I highly recommend Freedom's Song as a most enjoyable and inspirational read.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from WaterBrook & Multnomah. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
