Emeline
Baratt has a reserve of strength of character beyond anything she
thought that she possessed. Her friend, Hannah Keate, saw what was
dormant within Emeline, and had the unique ability to bring it to
life. The character traits that Emeline's father seemed to most
dislike, the ones she tried hardest to squelch, were the ones that
were most needed when she, Hannah and the crew of her father's ship
were taken captive by the British man-of-war Marauder.
Owen
Masters had received a commission into the British Royal Navy eight
years ago. For those eight years he had served well with no one
realizing that he was an American spy. Eight years living under the
rules of the Royal Navy was a very long time to wait for a valuable
piece of intelligence, one important enough to deliver to the
Americans and to earn the ship of his own promised by his uncle. Now
his time had come, but things were complicated by the presence of
Emeline Baratt.
MaryLu
Tyndall addresses the importance of having an accurate view of God.
Both Emeline and Owen believe there is a God, but have difficulty
forming a relationship with Him because they view Him as a strict
father just waiting to punish anyone who breaks one of His long list
of rules. God hasn't given up on them, and lovingly teaches them of
His care and mercy.
I
do recommend The Liberty Bride to
fans of historical fiction and to those who seek to find the loving,
forgiving side of God's personality while keeping His holiness in
clear view. I thank NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for providing me
with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. I was
under no obligation to provide a positive review and received no
monetary compensation.
