An indentured servant since the age of fourteen, Gwen Morgan longs for freedom. Her greatest wish is to find the sister who was sold to another master when they arrived in North Carolina from Wales. Then Master Whiteford offers Gwen her freedom at a price—she must agree to live a lie and join a settlement of Quakers relocating to the Northwest Territory of Ohio. Thomas and Betsy Baldwin have buried their three children and face their elderly years alone until they open their home and hearts to Gwen. Their quiet and steadfast faith touches Gwen and causes her to question her deception. Torn between her freedom and the truth, Gwen struggles to find her place among the Quakers she's grown to love. Pegg Thomas has written a heartwarming, authentically researched story in Freedom's Price . When indentured servant Gwen is offered her freedom by the powerful man who owns her, she has to vow to keep a family secret to avoid scandal. Because she longs to be free and wants to find her sister who is also indentured, she agrees to go along on a wagon train west with a group of Quakers wanting to find a better life. But as Gwen grows close to the kind couple who took her, her secret begins to weigh her down. Then she meets a man who has his own past hurts and begins to think she could be happy with the Quakers. But danger is at every turn and as Gwen grows stronger, she begins to open up to her new family. When her secret is threatened unless she does something immoral, will she tell those she's come to love the truth and risk losing her freedom and her happiness? What price will she pay to be forever free? —Lenora Worth NY Times, USA Today, and PW bestselling author of The Forgiving Quilt & The Memory Quilt Appealing characters and their heart-wrenching dilemmas quickly drew me into Pegg Thomas's latest release, Freedom's Price . As always, Thomas portrays the historical setting with vivid, accurate strokes and develops the characters in an engaging way that brings them to life on the page. Gwen Morgan 's precarious situation as an indentured servant and adoptive mother of an illegitimate baby particularly affected me. The Baldwins, an older couple facing a dangerous migration to a slave-free territory with their Quaker settlement, also captured my heart, as did Micah Pike, whose believably rendered struggle with love and forgiveness deeply resonated. I loved the theme of how God places his children in families and was convicted by the vivid reminder that lies, no matter how justified they may appear, inevitably bring destructive consequences. Freedom's Price is a compelling and uplifting story, and I highly recommend it to readers! —J. M. Hochstetler Author of the American Patriot Series A secret, an oath, and a bid for freedom—these are the things that send Gwen Morgan from the wealthy North Carolina family who held her indenture on a journey with the Quakers to the Northwest Territory. Much more than a romance—and it's a compelling one— Freedom's Price takes readers on Gwen's emotional journey as well, from innocence to maturity, from loneliness to the heart of family, and from fear and bondage to faith. Stirring historical fiction from Pegg Thomas! —Denise Weimer, multi-published author of the Scouts of the Georgia Frontier Series , Bent Tree Bride , & The Witness Tree
