Upon the Broken Range
He hopes to protect her from men—but only God can free her from fear.
When Jeremiah Jackson discovers Deliverance, a beautiful runaway slave, hidden in his wagon, a protective spirit rises within him. She fled from the cruel and relentless Colonel Boone Baxter, who will stop at nothing to reclaim her—including searching the wagons from top to bottom before they are allowed to pull away from the fort. Thankfully, Mrs. Hawthorne has gone into labor early. Will hiding Del beneath the laboring woman be enough to keep her safe?
Fear has been Deliverance’s constant companion ever since Boone bought her away from her mother. As she cowers in the darkness of the crate beneath the laboring woman, terror whispers that Boone will never let her go—especially since she’s carrying his child. She’ll never be free. Then the soldiers come knocking, and her nightmare comes to life.
Yet as the men begin to ransack the interior of the wagon, Deliverance discovers that courage is born not from the absence of fear, but from trusting God and resting in the victory—and freedom—of the battles He has already won.

As an American Black reader, I am always a bit leary when I see an author of another persuasion writing Black characters. I find that the majority of them do not do their research, or even seem to believe there is research to be done, to write authentic characters. BUT. This book here is really well written. There are still some things, this is by no means a perfectly accurate accounting of "the black persons" experience in America but my goodness, it is close. And from the depths of my person, I am grateful. Grateful the author made the decison to write this story, this way. A Very Good Read.

No Fear in Love
Such a heartbreaking life for Deliverance before meeting Jeremiah. Both had been slaves but not at the same residence. Jeremiah found freedom through his Masters son. Deliverance would have been considered a runaway. Both leaned on God, knew Jesus as their Savior. They were traveling with a wagon train of many believers. I liked seeing what God’s people could accomplish together. There is an evil Master determined to find her. It is their journey and I believe you will enjoy it.

Such wonderful book
This series of books is so special. They get better and better. I am looking forward to book 5. I especially loved how the Lord was with the main characters throughout the story. Thank you to Lynnette Bonner for your gifted talent in writing the best books for your readers. I enjoyed listening to this Audible edition as I read along with my book. The narration was outstanding.

Another great book
I can hardly wait for Lynnette Bonkers next book. She writes about real human beings with real emotions and life experiences. I love how she uses Scriptures at the right relevant places. She is a gift.

Lynnette’s books never disappoint
How I love these faith- and hope-filled books! The story is wonderful and a reminder of how God works, even in the most broken situations.
