About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the third book in the Sugar Baron series that I have read and greatly enjoyed!This is Salah’s story the youngest sister, a young woman who wears her heart on her sleeve, and hates injustice, to the point of sacrificing her life.Besidesher sisters, Keturah and Verity, Salah is here, and other characters we have gotten to know, along with some we know perpetrate evil, and know that some are at it again.Loved how some of these folks go about their lives all the while helping liberate the slaves on their island, but now helping the cause of the Patriots in the States.Yes, these books have it all and are easy to get lost in, but you will miss them when the final pages are turned.I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House and was not required to give a positive review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a fantastic finale to an epic saga of three sisters from Britain making their way on the Island of Nevis as sugar plantation owners in the 1770s! The Sugar Baron’s Daughters series should be read in order since there are multiple subplots within each book that extend into the next story. This last book ties in so many themes from the previous two books like slavery, prejudice and hatred simply because of gender, race, color, and religion, bitterness and desire for revenge, Christian compassion and mercy, and support for the American revolutionary cause. With the backdrop of the beautiful Caribbean islands and the political unrest of the American Revolutionary War at its waters, the author brilliantly portrays the emotion and heart of that era in history and creates a delightful story of courage, faith, music, and romance. Selah, the youngest of the Bennett sisters, is impulsive but has a big, tender, compassionate heart that bleeds for the people in need. Jedidiah, a traveling Methodist preacher, is an unlikely hero and quite different from Selah’s two brothers-in-law but captures Selah’s heart and imagination with his passion for God and His people, his humble nature, and his musical gift. They both learn what it means to be courageous in the face of adversity as enemies press in on every side. Their romance is a rocky one, full of doubt and second-guessing, but their love for each other is true as their hearts and vision align. The entire series is a great read for fans of historical fiction and romance. I received a copy of the book from the author and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
