I am reviewing a copy of Selah through Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley:






Selfhood Banning is a young British lady coming of age on the West Indies Island of Nevis in 1776.  She could have never imagined the most tumultuous time of her life would occur in the next year.






The young Methodist preacher Jedediah Reed has been called to serve the slaves of Nevis.  He has settled on Selah’s families plantation called the Double T.   Selah’s heart is drawn to the same people, the slaves of Nevis.  The purpose they share bring Selah and Jedediah closer together despite her guardians objections and concerns about the romance not promising security for the future.



Jedediah’s faith and Selah’s abolitionist beliefs lead to changes on the plantation.  Just as the Revolutionary War continues to build in the States.  But the threat of Starvation and the conflict with island mogul Angus Shubert growing ever stronger, the future of the Triple T and it’s people hang in the balance.



I give Selah five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
