Every time Sibyl visits her mother, she’s criticized, shamed, and leaves in tears. The only thing that can calm her is Fremont’s assurance to move them to a place they can share their faith more freely. While her emotions bounce from frustration to despair, she holds on to the belief that God can help her family.

Fremont, a former hobo, promises to find a better paying job and spirit his wife away from this unstable family. But only God can work that miracle.

More from Kathryn

The tumultuous times of the 1930s and 40s are amazingly similar to the difficulties we face today. Read how God guided this prominent family toward greater strength and dependence on him. Based on a true story, this compelling novel is taken from handwritten biographies, personal interviews, and family research.

Fremont’s Promise is a Historical Novel written by Kathryn Spurgeon. This is book three in the Promise series. I have read book 1, but not book 2. I am not sure how I missed book 2, but I will be going back to read book 2. This author always writes in such a way that you feel that you are there. Her stories are so historically accurate. This book is work of fiction that is based on actual events and locations. I also love that this is based in the 1930s-1940's which is a time periods that I do not read a lot on.

Sybil has a disapproving mother. Her mother is always criticizing her, putting her down and making her cry. Fremont, who has previously been a hobo knows that he needs to move Sybil away from this unstableness. They both came from different types of families. Fremont loves his wife and wants to see her happy. I love how focused on their marriage they were. How they knew there were problems. I love their faith and how they realized how much God has done for them.

Well written characters, fun story line, researched time period and so much more. I loved this book. I look forward to what comes next from the author. I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit Blogging Program, all thoughts are my own.
