Freedom's Price

4.5 stars
Oh, I really enjoyed this story, set in the Florida Keys and Louisiana in 1856. A young Englishwoman has to travel to her mother's family in Louisiana after her cousin sells her home out from under her at her father's death. The journey is interrupted by a storm which lands her in Key West, where she meets Elizabeth and Prosperity from the previous books and gets to know Tom better.

The writing style is really smooth and easy to read, and I liked that both characters have a strong faith. The bad guy is really bad, so there are some dark themes related to that, but a self-sacrificing character is an excellent contrast.

Content: talk of violence and rape toward slave women; a beating (somewhat shown); an attempted rape (not graphic)
