Freedom’s Price


When Englishwoman Catherine Haynes loses both her parents and her home in 1856, she decides to cross the Atlantic to find her American mother’s family in Louisiana. She enlists the help of Tom Worthington, a dashing Key West man who makes his living salvaging wrecked ships, but whose real goal in life is to bring to justice the man who stole his father’s ship and caused his untimely death.

When Catherine finally arrives at her family’s plantation, she finds it in disarray and her family absent landowners. Torn between returning to Key West with Tom or beginning the hard work of restoring the plantation, Catherine soon finds herself snared in a plot to steal her inheritance. When an incredible secret comes to light, both she and Tom will face a choice. Can they relinquish the dreams that have been holding them captive in order to step forward in faith–even if it costs them everything?

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.**

I have thoroughly enjoyed Christine Johnson’s Keys of Promise series. The unique setting and characters have been something different to read. It’s a series I can certainly recommend.

The third novel of the series, brings a woman from England to the Keys and Louisiana. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this novel at first as the story quickly turned quite dark and a bit mysterious. The story doesn’t shy away from some of the atrocities of slavery, but rather shines a light of hope in some of the darkest moments of the book.

These characters were certainly standouts for me. Tom who has to learn the truth about vengeance and Catherine who has to learn that reality and expectations are not always the same thing. Together these two characters have to find their own paths amidst an enemy.

I thought Freedom’s Price was a wonderful book and is one that I can point to as a book worth picking up.

“Home isn’t a place. It’s the people who love you.”
