A Heart Set Free by Janet S. Grunst
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A lovely tale set in Colonial America. Heather Douglas sells herself into indentured servitude to pay for her crossing from Scotland to the British Colonies in America. She’s running from her past and will do anything to start over somewhere else. Matthew Stewart is a widower with two small children. While he needs help, he can’t buy Heather’s indenture and then take her out to the wilderness to his farm. So he marries her. With no options and little choice, Heather has to find a way to either accept her life on the farm in a marriage she didn’t want, for find a way to earn back her freedom.
Well worth reading! Charming characters and plenty of story to keep you turning the pages.
