Winter storms blast across the Whispering Pines Guest Ranch, and a cold wind blows through Kate Neilson's soul. Despite her pain Kate's well-being takes a backseat to the needs of loved ones: her best friend, who's been ensnared by evil; her failing great-aunt, whose dementia care keeps Kate guessing; and Laura and Mike Duncan, whose ranch and livelihood are threatened by a land-grabbing neighbor.

Excellent writing! The second Kate Neilson novel involves human slave trafficking, so it includes violence and some sexual content, as well as topics like prostitution, abortion, abuse and rape. And two of the women characters are former inmates trying to live honest lives after prison. The book is tastefully written without explicit details but it's not intended for children. The story is told with much compassion and portrays a message of hope, no matter how far a person has fallen. The plot and characters are believable and interesting.The action is compelling and page-turning. The author tackles some difficult topics in this fictional drama and brings attention to the sordid crime of human trafficking while also extending hope to victims.

Inspiring story of hope

Winds of Freedom is the second in the author's Kate Neilson Novels series. While the first story dealt with healing and restoration after a criminal past, this is a story of hope as characters live as victims of another's disturbing crime: human trafficking. (Though some characters clearly are sex slaves, no sex scenes are detailed; any supporting passages are written in a tasteful way.)

Author Rebecca Carey Lyles lets us look into the soul of a fictional trafficking victim in a way that brings empathy toward the enslaved and changes in the reader. It is gritty and raw - yet it carries the truth that God will never leave or forsake us, even (especially?) in our darkest times. Winds of Freedom inspires courage and compassion, and that in itself makes the book a worthy read.

Winds of Wyoming

I loved this book. I always say that it's a good book when I want to pray for the characters. They were very real and because I'm interested in preventing "trafficking", I was drawn to this story and it's information. The more info we can get out there, the better.

I enjoyed the first installment of the Kate Nielson Books (The Winds of Wyoming) and equally enjoyed the second book. Lyles does an excellent job of showing how quickly and completely someone can be made a slave with no hope of escape. She made a very serious issue more real to me. I enjoyed the relationship between Kate and Amy, as well as the men that were willing to help Kate find Amy when there was no concrete evidence that she was truly missing.

My only disappointment was how quickly the story was wrapped up with what felt like unrealistic circumstances. I wanted a more solid solution to what had happened to all of the main characters. I know another book is coming, so I hope to find the concrete ending to their story there. Despite this one issue (which is purely based on my personal taste) I would recommend this book to anyone looking for hope and a real wake-up call to the realities of human slavery that is happening right here in our country.

Overall, an entertaining and page-turning read.
