Selah Banning has come of age on the West Indies island of Nevis, shaped by experiences far beyond the typical upbringing of a young British lady in 1776. She never anticipated that the most tumultuous time of her life might await her in the year ahead. Jedediah Reed, a young Methodist preacher with a call to serve the slaves of Nevis, has settled at Selah's family's plantation, the Double T. As Selah's heart is drawn to the same people, their shared purpose brings them together--despite her guardians' concern with a romance that promises little security for the future. As Jedediah's faith and Selah's abolitionist leanings lead to changes on the plantation, the Revolutionary War continues to build in the States. With the threat of starvation and the conflict with island mogul Angus Shubert growing ever stronger, the future of the Double T and its people hangs in the balance.

Selah is the third book in Bergren's The Sugar Baron's Daughters series, this time focused on the youngest of the three daughters. The story is set on the West Indies island of Nevis where the conflict between England and the Colonies is causing a significant shortage of supplies. Verity, the middle sister, has married a Patriot sympathizer, and it is not long before Selah joins her sister and brother-in-law in their endeavors to assist the Patriot cause. Selah also continues to do all she can in support of freed and enslaved Negroes, thus making enemies of the most powerful man on the island.
I enjoyed revisiting the Double T plantation on Nevis, and was moved by the sacrifices Selah and her family were willing to make for those in their care. Bergren knows how to fully engage her readers' emotions. The themes of social justice, and willingness to put one's future in the hands of God while responding to His call were well developed and may spur many to give them further consideration. I am grateful to have received a copy of Selah in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
