Fremont, a former hobo, promises to find a better paying job and spirit his wife away from this unstable family. But only God can work that miracle.

My Thoughts

Freemont's Promise is the third book in the Promise Series which is a fiction story based on true events and actual locations. I have not read any of the other books in the series but I know I need to rectify that because I need to know more about this family and how the story all began. Kathryn Spurgeon does an excellent job at capturing the essence of the era. The rich details transport you back and make you believe that you are there as you are reading.

Sybil is such a great character and it's easy to connect with her and her journey through this story. Overall I thought this was a very good story. This was my first book by this author and and she has definitely been added to my to-be-read authors list. If you enjoy historical fiction that is based on real events and people I highly recommend you grab this one!

More from Kathryn

The tumultuous times of the 1930s and 40s are amazingly similar to the difficulties we face today. Read how God guided this prominent family toward greater strength and dependence on him. Based on a true story, this compelling novel is taken from handwritten biographies, personal interviews, and family research.
