Today I am reviewing Freedom’s Flight by Penny Zeller
Book Description
My Review
Another excellent read by Penny Zeller
This time the book is set in Tennessee before the Civil War and when slavery was at it’s worse. Annalise is now living with her Aunt and Uncle after the passing of her parents. While in Virginia they did own slaves but treated them with respect. In Tennessee her Uncle is known as one of the crueler slave owners. She has learnt to hate slavery and wants to do whatever she can to work against it.
She attends Matthias’ church and feels at peace for the first time. Annalise discovers he is involved in helping runaway slaves and also wants to help.
I started reading this book and couldn’t stop. It flows so well and is easy to read. I loved Annalise and her heart for right and helping a couple of the slaves her family had owned. She feels for them when they are punished for simple things that she has done. Trying to convince Matthias she is not a spy and genuine is interesting to see. The book shows we are not who our family are but instead our own person. I could have kept reading this story to see what happens next. I see the author may be revisiting these characters and I for one would love to see more in the series.
If you are looking for a historical read dealing with the underground railway, I would recommend this book.
Thank you so much for your review, Jenny. I’m honored to be spotlighted and thrilled you enjoyed the book. Have a wonderful weekend!
