The Sequel to the American Historical Novels, The Honorable Imposter and The Captive Bride. The Indentured Heart opens another chapter in the compelling saga of the Winslow family. Pre-Revolutionary America was stirring the flames for freedom and the Great Awakening under Jonathan Edwards was renewing a nation's spiritual values.

And far off in England a young beggar girl is about to be given the chance of a lifetime.

He promises to bring her safely to America on the condition that she become an indentured servant for ten years. Escape from her wretched circumstances and the distant glimmer of freedom in a new land help to make her decision.

Christmas will journey toward what some considered to be the ultimate test, but in so doing he will leave an indelible mark on the family tree.
