A Light in the Wilderness by Jane Kirkpatrick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book! Letitia, the main character is a newly freed slave with highly treasured papers stating her freedom. Times are changing in America as new states like Oregon are making decisions about whether to be free or slave states. Letitia is on a journey facing many obstacles and must decide whom she will trust, what she will trust, and where she can continue her freedom. Will she believe the man who takes her on as his wife? How will she be treated on her path to a new life and home? Will friends be true or betray her? Will her papers be worth as much as she values them? Will God be her refuge amidst the trials she faces? Read this fascinating book and you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend it!
