Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings,
to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet
to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. It's
based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I am showcasing Freedom's Song by Kim Vogel Sawyer. I really enjoy this author's writing so I am looking forward to this one! It is set to release October 19, 2021.
Her voice made her a
riverboat's darling--and its prisoner. Now she's singing her way to
freedom in this powerful novel from the bestselling author of The Librarian of Boone's Hollow.
Indentured
servant Fanny Beck has been forced to sing for riverboat passengers
since she was a girl. All she wants is to live a quiet, humble life with
her family as soon as her seven-year contract is over. However, when
she discovers that the captain has no intention of releasing her, she
seizes a sudden opportunity to escape--an impulse that leads Fanny to a
group of enslaved people who are on their own dangerous quest for
liberty. . . .
Widower Walter Kuhn is overwhelmed by his
responsibilities to his farm and young daughter, and now his mail-order
bride hasn't arrived. Could a beautiful stranger seeking work be the
answer to his prayers? . . .
After the star performer of the River Peacock
is presumed drowned, Sloan Kirkpatrick, the riverboat's captain, sets
off to find her replacement. However, his journey will bring him face to
face with his own past--and a deeper understanding of what it truly
means to be free. . . .
Uplifting, inspiring, and grounded in biblical truth, Freedom's Song is a story for every reader who has longed for physical, emotional, or spiritual delivery.
