INTRIGUING LOVE STORY
When Bruce Millikan returns home, memories
of childhood taunts invade Flora Saferight’s thoughts as guilt over her lack of
forgiveness leads her to prefer to avoid him. But when circumstance leads them
on a journey together, they are forced to examine who they were and who they’ve
grown to be. As I began the novel, I had to smile because my mother always told
me (and I shared the same with my three daughters), it’s the boys who tug at
your pigtails that will be the ones that someday tug at your heart.
PATH OF FREEDOM is a captivating tale of
romance, set in the South during the period of the Underground Railroad. I love
reading historical romance and losing myself in a love story with interesting
tidbits of history woven in, and Jennifer Hudson Taylor delivered on both! I
enjoyed learning about the role the Quaker people played in providing safe
houses and transportation to slaves seeking freedom, and felt immersed in that
time period and with Flora, Bruce, and the people they cared about.
Ms. Taylor doesn’t dodge any issues and her
thoughtful prose on love, truth and forgiveness gave me not only an enjoyable
read, but time well spent! PATH OF FREEDOM is part of the Quilts of Love Series and I loved the story thread of the quilt in
her novel. I look forward to reading more from this author!
