"This is how we do it, yes? . . . . We sacrifice for one another. We help each other to get through. We love one another through, in spite of, because of . . . And count every blessing."
All three Banning sisters are remarkable in their own right, but as this wonderful series comes to a close, it's Selah that takes center stage . . . with her remarkable courage, and incredible beauty that is immeasurably more than skin deep. Can her sweet, generous heart be tested? Absolutely. And so it will be, as she struggles to navigate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness on an island that reeks of injustice from master towards slave; from owner towards his "property". Even though war wages through-out the American colonies; evidence sailing in and out of the ports among the West Indies, it's a godly young minister who works alongside those that she loves so dearly, who will prove to be Selah's biggest challenge on the island of Nevis. . . . . .for should she trust her head, or her heart?
"From our first moment here on earth to when we at last see our Savior in paradise, we are called to do one thing; trust."

“It was the falcon’s piercing cry that first alerted Selah. She shielded her eyes against the bright, tropical morning sun and followed the broad wingspan of the beautiful bird circling above.” - Opening lines of “Selah” by Lisa T. Bergren
Selah, by Lisa T. Bergren, is the third in the sugar baron’s daughters series and continues where Verity leaves off. Whilst a story in and of itself, I highly recommend reading this series in order to fully appreciate the journey. When I read “Keturah”, it was my favourite. It was usurped by ”Verity” which has now lost to ”Selah”! It is jam-packed with adventure and romance but the historical thread is the oppression of black people in the West Indies. It’s eloquently and movingly handled.
Selah comes into her own in this story exploring what it means to defend and love the slaves and freed slaves around her. She wrestles with God’s purpose for life. Her most recent acquaintance is Methodist preacher Jedediah who challenges her to deepen her relationship with God and expand her advocacy for those around her.
Jedediah finds Selah fascinating and frustrating. Her trust in God and determination to protect those she loves makes him question what is means to trust God wholeheartedly. Together, the two take on the villain in this trilogy, Angus, to protect those in his care. He is one of the best written “bad guys” I’ve read, he gives me chills!
Verity and Ian, Keturah and Gray all contribute to this fabulous story and it’s a joy to be back on the island with these wonderful characters. Whilst the ending is awesome, I am sad to say farewell to them, this series is one I’ll be reading again and again in the future.
I love the way Lisa built in Biblical truths, it’s impactful and has changed my thinking, I highly recommend it, it’s five out of five on the enJOYment scale!
