North Carolina, 1793

Ian Cameron, a Boston cabinetmaker turned frontier trapper, has come to Mountain Laurel hoping to remake himself yet again - into his planter uncle’s heir. No matter how uneasily the role of slave owner rests upon his shoulders. Then he meets Seona - beautiful, artistic, and enslaved to his kin.

Seona has a secret: She’s been drawing for years, ever since that day she picked up a broken slate to sketch a portrait. When Ian catches her at it, he offers her opportunity to let her talent flourish, still secretly, in his cabinetmaking shop. Taking a frightening leap of faith, Seona puts her trust in Ian. A trust that leads to a deeper, more complicated bond.

As fascination with Seona turns to love, Ian can no longer be the man others have wished him to be. Though his own heart might prove just as untrustworthy a guide, he cannot simply walk away from those his kin enslaves. With more lives than his and Seona’s in the balance, the path Ian chooses now will set the course for generations of Camerons to come.

A story of choice and consequence, of bondage and freedom, of faith and family.

Benton is a master at tightening the tension with each turn of the page. It was beautiful, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful. I’m glad there’s a part 2!

I began the first half of this story with a free copy from the publisher through the NetGalley review program. I finished the second half of the story with the audio version I purchased through audible. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I expressed are my own.

An emotional journey of want and will, of bondage and freedom.

there's no easy way to stomach the gruesome, heart wrenching reality of slavery. even where hope is offer, the heart still reels at the suffering and death left in its wake. brilliantly written.

As tough as history. worthwhile.

This book touched my heart and created so many mixed feelings. Love and heartache are from the same coin and Ian certainly has enough of it in the story. I often say how fortunate we are to live in the days we do. With the slaves endured is incomprehensible. The Uncle Cameron was
not mean like many were. The subject touched on in this book actually happened in many of the plantations between the owners and their slaves. I am looking forward to the next book! The narrator did a great job also!

AAA+++
