Publisher's summary

The year 1914. While American women are demanding the vote and the first flames of the Great War are igniting Europe, a battle of a different sort rages in Oklahoma. The thermometer registers 106 degrees, an out-of-the-ordinary occurrence, even for the 28th day of July. But this is no ordinary day. The jury has reached a verdict.

Lily fidgets in the old church pew. She's lost enough, given more than her share. Hasn't she? The answer rests in the hands of 12 men. Not a single woman sits among the jurors.

Lily eyes the judge, and the courtroom holds its breath.

A Healing Journey

This story, which I read via audiobook, focuses on Lily Sloat, a young woman whom readers first meet in Book One, The Calling of Ella McFarland. In Book Two, Lily is faced with many challenges which bring about deep soul searching and introspection. I couldn't help but admire how Lily navigated through many difficult situations including the trial of her father, her search for a kidnapped girl, and the investigation into the slave trade of young girls. Through it all, Lily slowly grew in her faith walk despite much initial reluctance. While I found her continued and repetitive refusal of Cade frustrating to read, her overall character development was very heartening and encouraging. Though this story contained difficult topics, the spiritual and personal journey Lily went through led to a very satisfying conclusion.

I received a complimentary audiobook copy of this book from the author via a giveaway. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions expressed here are completely my own.

History plus

I loved this historical novel. There are many stories within the story. Each heart wrenching and moving. Human trafficking and physical abuse and even murder. Who can be trusted? What is the truth?
