Cry Freedom (Winds of Freedom, Book 1)
Kwelik understands being caught between two worlds. On the Colonial frontier in 1743, she is the half-breed daughter of a Delaware Indian woman and an English missionary who preaches a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Jonathan Grant is also caught between two worlds: the English aristocracy he disdains and the frontier he calls home. When he first sees Kwelik, she stands proudly on the auction block, a prisoner being sold as a slave, and her inner peace cries out to him. Impulsively, he buys her and sets himself upon the road to redemption and a belief in Christ. Schalesky, a freelance writer and pastor in the Church of the Nazarene, makes a solid start to this bold new series with sympathetic characters and a fresh look at the early years of the American Colonies.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
