The year is 1858. And Alana Peterson's world just crumbled around her. This Missouri girl's only possession is a journal, placed in her hands by her dying mother. In the journal a secret is revealed-a secret that could destroy her. Shay O'Connell, a man who has previously proven himself untrustworthy, offers to escort Alana west. With no other choice left to her, Alana accepts his offer, and they embark on the journey under the false pretense that they are siblings. But pretending to be brother and sister becomes a difficult task when Shay and Alana begin to fall in love. Fearful that Shay will not marry her if he learns the truth, Alana decides it best to keep her secret from him. When Alana's secret finally surfaces, will it destroy the very relationship she so desperately tried to protect? Watch as Alana fully relies on God through every situation in her ever-changing life. Freedom to Love, penned by new author Rhonda Kulczyk, is an intriguing and heart-wrenching novel about overcoming one's past and allowing God to be God. Rhonda Kulczyk's most important credential is an addiction to the written page. Writing has always been a passion, and even in the midst of her chaotic yet fun-filled moments of raising four boys, she always seems to find small snitches of time throughout the day to write. Born and raised in Montana, Rhonda then spent ten years in Oklahoma during which time she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education at Oral Roberts University. Rhonda now resides in North Dakota with her husband, Will, and their four sons.
