Freedom Priceless.

What a great story. I have read both books in this series and loved them both. They are wrote so you can read them separately. I think if you read one you will Haverford the other one. I know I did. Read the story of the Penbrooks from1848 to1951. Even though this is fiction many of the things depicted did happen to people that lived in the south in this time period. You will find yourself angry, sad, happy, and a laugh here and there. Loving someone is not always easy or convenient neither is going against the status quo. I love how the author shows the good,the bad and the ugly of this time in our history. Let us never forget to see people for who they are not just the color of their skin. I may not agree with how the sovereignty of God is explained in this book but I do believe that God will guide us and show us the way. Man causes the pains of this world not

God. The Lord is mention in this series but they are not preachy. Recommended reading for anyone who likes historical romance. There are scenes of violence but not overly graphic just what is needed to depict the time period. No foul language. Yes the n word is used because it was used . Well written and worth the time to read.

Wonderful finale to a great series

The Color of the Soul and Freedom of the Soul are the only books I've read by this author and I absolutely loved them. These stories were filled with characters you will love and characters you will abhor. These stories alternate back and forth in time between pre and post-Civil War and predate the Civil Rights movement in the late 1940s through early 1950s. Many parts are difficult to read, which include the evil institution of slavery, racism, and the rise of the Klan, but love always wins. I highly recommend this story, but you must read The Color of the Soul first. They are great novels.

Wow!! Loved it.

I pray that my great-grandmother's , both of whom were biracial, did not go through the pain and suffering that these characters went through, but I fear that they did. Life on the plantation could have been just about working hard for others to benefit from your labor, free of charge. But the owners, most of them, made life miserable for the people who worked to make them rich. I think I would have stayed on the land after emancipation and share cropped until I died, rather than going to a place I knew nothing about.

Excellent book - Page turner for sure!

This was a great book. It has a little of everything - intrigue, romance - lots of twists and turns!! It is a good, clean book with no curse words and no explicit sex at all - not even close. I wish books would be RATED - LIKE MOVIES, so you know ahead whether you want it or not.
