About the Book

In 1772 England, Lady Keturah Banning Tomlinson and her sisters find themselves the heiresses of their father's estates and know they have one option: Go to the West Indies to save what is left of their heritage.

Although it flies against all the conventions, they're determined to make their own way in the world. But once they arrive in the Caribbean, conventions are the least of their concerns. On the infamous island of Nevis, the sisters discover the legacy of the legendary sugar barons has vastly declined-and that's just the start of what their eyes are opened to in this harsh and unfamiliar world.

Keturah never intends to put herself at the mercy of a man again, but every man on the island seems to be trying to win her hand and, with it, the ownership of her plantation. She could desperately use an ally, but even an unexpected reunion with a childhood friend leaves her questioning his motives.
To keep her family together and save the plantation that is her last chance at providing for them, can Keturah ever surrender her stubbornness and guarded heart to God and find the healing and love awaiting her?

Review

Lisa T. Bergren’s novel Keturah is an absolute wonder to read. From the back drop of England to an ocean voyage, to the island of Nevis in the Caribbean, the setting captivates readers. But not only is the setting entrancing, Bergren’s characters spring to life from the pages as they develop throughout the novel. This is a story of sisters banding together to save their livelihood, as well as a charming romance. The author also brings to life the dangers and exoticness of the life of the people during this time period. Writing exquisitely, Bergren causes her readers to fall in love with the entire story. This delightful historical romance is one that fans will absolutely not want to put down.
