A 2011 BookList Top Ten Inspirational Book This riveting conclusion of Grace Winslow’s fight for freedom carries her from England to America’s Deep South. After learning that her husband, Cabeto, is on a South Carolina plantation, Grace dons a sailor’s disguise and boards the only ship headed for America—a detestable slave ship. When her secret is discovered, Grace is locked up in the hold. In South Carolina, Grace is bought immediately, but soon sold to a man who is not a slave keeper. Moved by her story of perseverance and faith, John Hull makes Grace’s mission his own. Grace now has a dear brother in Christ to help her, but a restored sense of hope does not mean the path to finding Cabeto will be clear—or free of trouble . . . The poignant story of Grace Winslow moves from the slave coast of Africa to eighteenth-century England to the oppression of a South Carolina cotton plantation. There Grace continues the search for her beloved husband, Cabeto, a man recently ripped from the arms of his family by slavers. Strom closes the Grace in Africa trilogy (The Call of Zulina, 2009; The Voyage of Promise, 2010) with depictions of the sorrows of slavery in the Americas and the heroic measures taken by individuals to seek freedom for themselves and others. Surprised first by the abject cruelty of some and the unexpected kindness of others, Grace and Cabeto struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds as they find their way in a new and dangerous land. Series followers will demand its finale, and fans of inspirational historical fiction will appreciate the authenticity Strom weaves into her tales of courageous faith and determination. --Elizabeth Ponder Even though all hopes seems lost, Grace never gives up – on God or her husband.

ISBN: 978-1-4267-0213-6 CHAPTER 1 London 1793 Who is it? Who is out there?" Nurse Hunter demanded. She rushed down the hall of the Foundling Hospital. "Must you knock the door completely off its hinges?" Even in the best of times, Nurse Hunter was not a patient woman. And now, with her nerves already taxed by two weeks of unrelenting rain, the persistent pounding on the front door pushed her to the point of exasperation. Her characteristic staccato steps clicked through the halls with even more haste than usual. Grace Winslow paid Nurse Hunter no mind. She extracted another bedsheet from the bundle young Hannah held in her outstretched arms. With an expert hand, Grace stuffed the sheet alongside the soggy heap already jammed into the corner where the dining hall floor connected to the entry hallway. She dropped to her knees and forced the padding firmly into place. As Nurse Hunter tugged the water-swollen door open, Grace straightened her back. She sighed and brushed a stray lock of auburn-tinged black curls from her dark face, now glossy with sweat. "Whoever you are, do not trail mud over my freshly scrubbed floor," she murmured —but not loud enough for either Nurse Hunter or the newcomer to hear. A worthy concern it was, too. With the road outside an absolute quagmire of muck, first one person and then the next tracked the mess inside and down the hallway faster than Grace and the girls could clean it up. Even courteous people carried the foul outside into the building. And whoever it was raising such a row at the door was obviously no courteous person. Through the open front door, a rough voice demanded, "We's come fer Grace Winslow!" "And just where do you fancy yourself taking our help in the middle of the day?" Nurse Hunter demanded. "The children sweat in their beds with the fever, and every corner of this building has sprung a new leak. I'd be a fool to hand our best worker over to you, wouldn't I, now?" "Takin' her to Newgate Prison, is wot," came the sharp reply. "On orders of Lord Reginald Witherham hisself." Grace stiffened. Lord Reginald Witherham? Charlotte's husband? An entire year had passed since Grace made her escape from that dreadful man's house! Lord Reginald had be
