Good fourth book in the Sarah's Journey series.

It's November of 1778, and now that her mother and new baby sister, Elizabeth, have recovered, thirteen-year-old Sarah Moore has returned to the home of her aunt, uncle, and cousins in Williamsburg to continue her education. Sarah misses her family back on the Kentucky frontier, but soon she becomes involved in another adventure. Her uncle is very opposed to slavery -- so why did she see him buying three slaves? And how could Marcus, the freed slave who works as a gardener at the Governor's Mansion and who has always been so kind to Sarah, be involved as well? And why are people in the streets of Williamsburg whispering the name of a Bible verse? What does it all mean? Sarah is determined to solve these mysteries. This book was another good adventure featuring Sarah Moore. Readers who enjoyed the previous books in the Sarah's Journey series are sure to like this one as well, and new readers who enjoy stories set in Colonial America should try this series. I look forward to reading the fifth and final book in the Sarah's Journey series soon.
