Selah by Lisa T. Bergren

Selah Banning has come of age on the West Indies island of Nevis, shaped by experiences far beyond the typical upbringing of a young British lady in 1776. She never anticipated that the most tumultuous time of her life might await her in the year ahead.

Jedediah Reed, a young Methodist preacher with a call to serve the slaves of Nevis, has settled at Selah's family's plantation, the Double T. As Selah's heart is drawn to the same people, their shared purpose brings them together--despite her guardians' concern with a romance that promises little security for the future.

As Jedediah's faith and Selah's abolitionist leanings lead to changes on the plantation, the Revolutionary War continues to build in the States. With the threat of starvation and the conflict with island mogul Angus Shubert growing ever stronger, the future of the Double T and its people hangs in the balance.

This is the third story in the series The Sugar Baron's Daughters.  To fully understand where this story begins you should probably read the first two books in the series.  I enjoyed reading about the youngest daughter, Selah, in this book.  There were places that I thought dragged a little bit and I found myself skipping some of that.  Other parts held my interest and I wanted to see what happened next.  Overall all it was a good book and nice ending to this series.

I was given this book by Bethany House publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
