River to Redemption by Ann H Gabhart
Orphaned in the cholera epidemic of 1833, Adria Starr was cared for by a slave named Louis, a man who stayed in Springfield, Kentucky, when anyone with means had fled. A man who passed up the opportunity to escape his bondage and instead tended to the sick and buried the dead. A man who, twelve years later, is being sold by his owners despite his heroic actions. Now nineteen, Adria has never forgotten what Louis did for her. She's determined to find a way to buy Louis's freedom. But in 1840s Kentucky, she'll face an uphill battle.Based partly on a true story, Ann H. Gabhart's latest historical novel is a tour de force. The vividly rendered town of Springfield and its citizens immerse readers in a story of courage, betrayal, and honor that will stick with them long after they turn the last page.
Ann H. Smith lives thirty miles near a recreated Shaker town in Kentucky. Gabhart has trodden the same routes that her characters may have trodden in previous generations. Her meticulous research creates a vivid backdrop for her Shaker stories. Gabhart is the best-selling author of The Outsider, The Believer, The Seeker, and Angel Sister, among others.
