Sweeter than Birdsong

This is the first novel I have read by Rosslyn Elliot. She has based this story on real people. The subjects of slavery and women's rights are well covered. The main character, Kate Winter, is someone I can relate to and love. Her experiences with freeing  the slaves help her overcome her shyness and stand up for what is right. She must also stand up to her verbally abusive mother. The other main character, Ben Hanby, is also wonderful. His amazing gift for music and helping others comes in handy as he tries to help Kate come out of her shell. This is the second in the series of Sadler's Legacy and Ben Hanby's mother and father were the heroine and hero of the first book in the series. if you like historical fiction you will love this book! Adventure,romance, suspense and redemption make this book very enjoyable!
