Red Sky Over America, by Tamera Lynn Kraft {book review}

About the book

William and America aren't afraid to confront evil, but will it cost them everything?

In 1857, America, the daughter of a slave owner, is an abolitionist and a student at Oberlin College, a school known for its radical ideas. When America goes home to Kentucky during school break to confront her father about freeing his slaves, America's classmate, William, tags along to preach abolition to churches that condone slavery. Soon, though, America and William find themselves in the center of the approaching storm sweeping the nation. Will they make it back to Ohio . . . or even live through the struggle?

What I thought about the book

Red Sky Over America captured my attention from page one, and kept me reading until the end. I always enjoy historical fiction. I found it perhaps a little coincidental that my youngest son is currently reading a book about Harriet Tubman in our home school. Both books bring this era of US history to life a little more.

This is the first book I've read by Tamera Kraft; it certainly won't be the last. I'll be looking forward to the rest of the volumes in the Ladies of Oberlin series.
