Honor Redeemed by Christine Johnson is set in Key West in the 1850s. I had never read an historical novel set in Key West, so that was a nice change. This story is the second in a series, but it is a stand-alone novel. The author deftly weaves issues of race in antebellum Florida into the story in a sympathetic fashion. In the beginning, I didn't know if I would like David, or the story, but I grew fond of both as the novel progressed. I generally don't like books where 2 men vie for one woman, but this tale seemed different and not forced. I enjoyed the novel very much. The characters are memorable, and their faith and flaws are believable. There is also plenty of action to keep the story moving forward. I received this book from the publisher, Revell, for the purpose of writing a review, but all opinions are my own.
