One young woman must stand up for freedom—and perhaps find her own in the process.
“Gabhart's (These Healing Hills, 2017) moving and beautifully written story of faith in action based on true events stemming the 1833 cholera epidemic in Springfield, Kentucky. . . . Gabhart’s deeply introspective writing brings elegance and depth to both Ruth and Adria’s grief and desires.”

One young woman must stand up for freedom—and perhaps find her own in the process.
“River to Redemption will both capture your heart and bolster your spirits. Each of the well-drawn characters stepped off the pages and into my heart. A genuinely wonderful book.”—Judith Miller, award-winning author of The Chapel Car Bride
Orphaned in the cholera epidemic of 1833, Adria Starr was cared for by a slave named Louis, a man who passed up the opportunity to escape his bondage and instead tended to the sick and buried the dead. A man who, twelve years later, is being sold by his owners despite his heroic actions.
Now nineteen, Adria has never forgotten what Louis did for her. She’s determined to find a way to buy Louis’s freedom. But in 1840s Kentucky, she’ll need all of the courage and strength she possesses—and more.
