Freedom's Song

By: Kim Vogel Sawyer

Narrated by: Barbara McCulloh

Indentured servant Fanny Beck has been forced to sing for riverboat passengers since she was a girl. All she wants is to live a quiet, humble life with her family as soon as her seven-year contract is over. However, when she discovers that the captain has no intention of releasing her, she seizes a sudden opportunity to escape - an impulse that leads Fanny to a group of enslaved people who are on their own dangerous quest for liberty....

Widower Walter Kuhn is overwhelmed by his responsibilities to his farm and young daughter, and now his mail-order bride hasn’t arrived. Could a beautiful stranger seeking work be the answer to his prayers?

After the star performer of the River Peacock is presumed drowned, Sloan Kirkpatrick, the riverboat’s captain, sets off to find her replacement. However, his journey will bring him face-to-face with his own past - and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to be free....

Uplifting, inspiring, and grounded in biblical truth, Freedom’s Song is a story for every listener who has longed for physical, emotional, or spiritual delivery.

Wonderful story

Another great book by Kim Vogel Sawyer. It begins in pre-Civil War Missouri in a time ripe with racial injustices for a family of escaped slaves as well as an indentured immigrant running from her owner. Teaming up, they help each other. It’s a book filled with God’s love, His guidance and plan for their lives. The narration was also very good. All around—-a very enjoyable read and another hit out of the park for Mrs Sawyer.

Great story and so well written and read

I rarely do a book review, but this story touched my heart. It is a very sweet story that kept my interest all along the way. The author is excellent in incorporating faith and goodness into her stories. The reader did an excellent job, also. There are interesting characters and situations in the story that deal with important themes of slavery and freedom. One interesting part of the story was the use of some of the words of a favorite hymn of mine that is especially meaningful to me because I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. I loved the way the author incorporated words from this “Mormon“ hymn to express faith and resolve of some of the characters. I also loved the ending. I sincerely wish there were a sequel to this book.
