Keturah

Keturah is the latest book by Lisa T. Bergen. The year is 1773, and Lady Keturah Banning-Thomlinson and her two sisters, Verity and Selah, await word from their father. He has traveled to the West Indies to care for the family plantation; however, when they finally receive word, the sisters learn their father has died!

Keturah decides that she must travel to the West Indies herself, in an attempt to save both the plantation and their home in Rivenshire, Engand. Her sisters decide to travel with Keturah, as well. Keturah's childhood friend, Gray Covington, had already planned to travel to the Indies, and offers to act as a protector to these three young ladies. After Keturah's horrible marriage experience, she decides she wants nothing to do with any man, even Gray!

After these travellers arrive safely in the Carribbean, they find a world beyond their imagination and they have no idea how to deal with this new situation. As you watch the Banning sisters slowly adjust to their new world, you will also see the friendship between Keturah and Gray slowly mend and begin to grow into something more!

Hold on for this crazy ride, as you watch the men on the island fight against a woman trying to get a failing plantation running again. As the Banning sisters walk through a lot of hardships, watch them reach out to God to hold them fast!

I received this book from Bethany House in exchange for my unbiased review.
