The Voyage of Promise, by Kay Marshall Strom
Book Two in the Grace in Africa series (Abingdon Press 2010)
It’s 1792 in West Africa. Slavers burst into Grace Winslow’s life with guns blazing and tear her family apart forever. Her husband is led away in chains on a slave ship bound for America, but Grace is shipped off to London for a different kind of servitude. As she struggles to reach the man she loves, she finds God reaching out to her.
Kay Marshall Strom is the author of more than 30 books and works tirelessly against human trafficking in the 21st century. The Voyage of Promise picks up where The Call of Zulina (Book One) left off, although each book stands alone.
My review:
If you haven’t discovered Strom’s action-filled writing, you’re missing out. She paints her characters with depth and generosity and brings history to life. The faith element is subtle, but just right. I highly recommend the book The Voyage of Promise as well as the series.
