Freedom's Song
by Kim Vogel Sawyer
Fanny Beck has spent years in solitude, working as an indentured person, unique in that she sings for her master, on a gambling riverboat. She is desperate to orchestrate a getaway. An accident devises the correct incident that allows her to make her escape. The novel follows her daring escape and her attempt to run for freedom.
Highly recommend it. A lovely Christian, historical novel.

This was the first book I've read by Ms. Sawyer and it's not going to be the last. The American Old West is one of my favorite time periods to visit. Full of heart, it was a great book to read. I took my kindle grocery shopping with me (my family insists on eating even when I'm involved in a good book) and I ended up finishing it while sitting in the parking lot before heading into the store. On a side note: It was a treat to hear a hymn that I have heard my entire life used as inspiration to get the characters through tough times.

Are you a Kim Vogel Sawyer fan? Or a historical fiction fan? Then you will enjoy Kim's newest book to be coming out soon. It is delightful. Kim writes wonderfully, and this book captured my attendance for the entire book.
I was wondering if Sloane would catch up to Fanny. This book pulls you through Fanny's journey, and she will get her freedom. In the process, Sloan will find his freedom as well. There are three main characters throughout this book. We get to see their point of view throughout the book; Most of them are Fanny's point of view. We do see Walters and Sloane's point of view throughout the book as well.
This book talks about slaves. What will happen when Fanny meets Enoch and his family? Will she help them to freedom, and she gets help with being hidden with them. What will Fanny do? Will Sloane learn about keeping his word and about God?
Will Sloan find his riverboat singer? Does he seem to think he is on a goose chase trying to find a singer that seems to sing her way to freedom? The plot thickens, and there will be freedom for Fanny. Will she get what she has been looking for in life. Fanny agreed to help care and watch over Walter's little girl Annlesse. What will happen when Walter's new wife comes?
