A Heart Set Free

By: Janet S. Grunst

Narrated by: Cecily White

2017 Selah Awards Winner for Historical Romance

In 1770, Heather Douglas is desperate to escape a brewing scandal in her native Scotland. Penniless and hoping for a fresh start far away, she signs a seven-year indenture and boards a British merchant vessel headed to Virginia.

Widowed planter Matthew Stewart needs someone to help raise his two young children. The tall blond standing on the Alexandria quay doesn't look like much after her harrowing sea voyage, but there's a refinement about her that her filthy clothing cannot hide. Could God be leading him to take this unknown indentured servant as his wife?

When Matthew purchases Heather's indenture, marries her, and takes her to his farm, she is faced with new and constant challenges. And Matthew wonders if they can ever bridge their differences and make a life together.

But in the Virginia countryside, Heather begins her greatest journey, one of self-discovery and of maturing faith. Here, she discovers that her emotional and spiritual scars bind her far more than her indenture...and love will finally set her heart free.

This audiobook is a joy to listen to.

Heart warming story. Well written and read. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story.

.Historical romance.

This is the first book I've read from this author. It was a pleasure to listen to and I would recommend it to anyone who prefers to read Christian related books but also for anyone as it is a historical romance novel as well. The story is well written and all of the narration was great - except the voice for Heathar, which was jarring compared to the rest of the narration - but that did not change my recommendation. This book was easy to listen to and it kept my attention so that I 'read' it in one day.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Historical romance

This is a sweet heartwarming Story about coming to America in the 1770's. Heather was running away from a scandal and becoming an indentured servant. She finds solace in turning to God throughout her journey and the decisions that are made for her. I enjoyed how the writer incorporated how she had to learn basic farm chores, gardening, milking a cow. gathering eggs. Plucking her first chicken was hilarious.
Janice S. Grunst was very descriptive in the historical details of this story.
Cecily white narration was very good, from her Scottish accent to the voices of the other characters were spot on

Great story

Great story but a little convoluted at times in the way the story unfolded. All in all I really liked it. Narrator did a great job distinguishing the different voices and accents.

A Heart Set Free

A Heart Set Free is a nice story about one woman's journey toward God and acceptance of herself set to the backdrop of slowly falling in love. Narration was pretty good and the story is well written. I was given a free copy of this book and am leaving this honest review voluntarily.
