The Voyage of Promise: Grace in Africa Series #2
Straight from the nightmare of the eighteenth-century African slave trade comes the second installment in Strom’s historical inspirational series, Grace in Africa. Best known for her nonfiction work, Once Blind: The Life of John Newton (2008), Strom skillfully weaves historical fact into an historical romance to conjure the atmosphere of this time, and the horror of a family being ripped apart at the seams. As the story of Grace Winslow, a woman with an African royal for a mother, an Englishman for a father, and an African husband recently taken captive in the slave trade continues, she is determined not to be enslaved or to lose her beloved forever. Grace will speak to women of faith in this robust tale recommended for admirers of triumphant women and realistic depictions of the heart-wrenching past. --Elizabeth Ponder
