William Wallace Crockett is a Scottish drover wrongfully stolen away from his home and left for dead, his freedom sold for a pittance. Verity Wilde is a young Quaker woman, who has mercy on his situation taking him into her household.
A compelling story of betrayal, loss, and God's providence. Verity carries the weight of her brother's death, while helping her father in his business. Verity has dreams, as well as a big heart for others. Judah is a wise and loyal family member, who walks the line between his two heritages, I like dhis protectiveness of Verity and his friendship with Will.
A rugged and realistic view of early America, full of promise and hope in a wild and untamed land. Will is determined and hardworking, a clever young man full of dreams and the grit to make them come true. I liked how Jenny gently encourages him, while gracefully enduring the hardships as they came.
Overall, a compelling novel that takes us from the hills of Scotland to colonial Virginia. Filled with heartache, and loss, but also inspiring courage and sacrifice, with a solid core of faith. A well told story, that brings to life early America in a story of betrayal, faith, and hope. Definitely recommend.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
