Pegg Thomas

As soon as he found Gwen…his future could begin.

January 1801 - Mark Allan Teed had finally finished his indenture and he could now go and make a future for himself. He would start by trying to find a long lost friend, Gwen, orphaned along with her sister Faye. After all these years - what would he find? Heading north from North Carolina in January would seem like a very poor choice, however Mark Allen set out on his horse anyway. A young lad, Bran, joined him on the way and the search began.

Faye, ward of Dr. Paul McClure, had enjoyed all the comforts of life after being sold at auction. She was very proud of how far she had come from that shanty back in the old country. The family deciding to become Quaker did not fit into her dream for the future. Nor did traveling north to settle in Ohio.

Mark Allen has completed his indenture. Now to find Gwen, to whom he promised that he would reunite with her sister after the indenture were completed. The book tells of a man who loved Gwen and hopes to reunite with her as well. He is driven to fulfil his promise and will not stop till he finds her. Faye, sister of Gwen is not at all similar to Gwen. She is all about a good life. The story is good and well written. And has some twists and turns along the way.

What would you be willing to do to gain your freedom? An indentured person was really not much different than a slave, except they were supposed to be free after they had served their time. Certainly many things could happen to a young girl in 7 years, the length of her indenture. For Gwen Morgan a choice was given to release her from this bondage, but would it turn out to be the best decision?

Many questions were part of her life from then on, not the least of which was the lie she was supposed to live. Thomas and Betsy, the Quakers that took her in, accepted her as part of their family, regardless of how she came to them. Pondering the conflicting concepts of a loving and fearsome God found Gwen wondering if He could possibly forgive her lie.

With great detail, the author takes us along as the Quakers travel their Path to Freedom, giving Gwen the chance to do the same. This early copy was received through Spinner of Yarns Publishing. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.… (plus d'informations)

This author has definitely become one of my favorite writers of historical fiction. The story was very gripping and kept me reading and definitely not skimming pages. I wanted to read about everything that was going on in the story. And there was a lot. The turmoil that Gwen had to hold in her heart as a secret that could ruin her life with the Quaker family that she loved made for a very good read. Thomas, a Quaker man was believable and his feelings were easy to understand to me as the reader. It was a very good story and a fresh read for me with a great storyline. I highly recommend this book. It is a wonderful story!
