In this fifth installment of the bestselling Mail Order Bride series, two young couples seek freedom and love amidst slavery-rich Charleston, South Carolina. When nineteen-year-old Benjamin arrives from South Africa, he is scheduled to be sold into slavery--but is set free by a Christian who takes him in as a paid worker. The man's son, Dan Johnson, befriends Benjamin, and the two make plans to start a cattle ranch in Texas. With bold dreams and the support and courage of their mail order brides, they struggle against bigotry and hatred to find their dream of happiness.

Customer Reviews

Thought provoking, inspirational, and educational:

I have enjoyed the entire series of mail order brides by these authors and found more substance and "meat" in this one. Reading about the various lives that are woven together, the differences in life choices by Christians and non-Christians, I found several stories that occur simultaneously to bring all the actors together. God's plan in our lives was never so clearly shown through words. A very good read as are ALL in this series. You will learn about slavery to the revival era of the late 1800's. Informative, entertaining, and thought provoking I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good read.
