Blog Tour: A Whisper of Freedom

Thanks to LitFuse Publicity for providing a free review copy of this book. No other compensation was received for this review. The opinions contained herein are my own. I was not required to write a positive review.

Note: I thought I had scheduled this post to publish on Sunday, May 18, but I guess I just saved it as a draft instead - my apologies, and I'll get it right next time!

A Whisper of Freedom was my first introduction to author Tricia Goyer, and I will certainly be reading more of her books! Even though this was the final book in a three-part series, I was able to pick up the story with no problem, for which I am thankful.

Set in Spain during their relatively unknown civil war, A Whisper of Freedom has all the elements necessary to keep readers glued to its pages: danger, mystery, betrayal, love, and even a fabulous treasure! Along with the excitement, Mrs. Goyer interweaves timeless themes such as sacrificial love, forgiveness, and redemption.

"A Whisper of Freedom proves that courage and commitment don't always result in outward victory. But there are whispers of hope and freedom that resonate through even the darkest night."
