In this powerful conclusion to the Pocket Full of Seeds Trilogy, Caritas brings this epic and emotional journey full circle-following the critically acclaimed books, Libertas and Firmitas, praised as "historical fiction at a stellar level."
- 1846 -
Horace and Fredericka have escaped slavery and endured the punishing journey of the Oregon Trail, but their fight for freedom is far from over. The West offers no refuge, only new threats amidst the turmoil of the Whitman Massacre, the frenzy of the Gold Rush, and the lawlessness of San Francisco's Barbary Coast. Prejudice, bounty hunters, gunslingers, disease, and the struggle of displaced Native Americans define their world and a fledgling nation grappling with its own identity. The cost of freedom is steep.
In this gripping tale of love and longing and against overwhelming odds, Horace and Fredericka's courage is tested, and their love demands everything. Caritas is a story of resilience and the unyielding pursuit of freedom in a world where hope can be both a salvation and a sacrifice.
