A Quiet Hope
(2020)(The fourth book in the Salis House Plantation series)
A novel by Embassie Susberry
With the War Between the States over and slavery now a thing of the past, Sylvester Hollis—a man born for the saddle and a gun-- finds himself at a crossroad in life…and he doesn’t like the looks of any of the paths laid out before him.
As one of the few slaves that stayed at Salis Plantation before, during, and after the War, Hagar has spent her whole life in service to others, unsure of who she is and what she wants in life. But when the straw breaks the camel’s back, Hagar knows one thing—she wants off the plantation. Remembering the name of Arrow Creek, Hagar packs her bags determined to take herself West. What she doesn’t plan for is Sylvester Hollis.
On a journey that neither one expected, from West Virginia to Oklahoma, Sly and Hagar come together as circumstance after circumstance is thrown their way. Forced to deal with bandits, townspeople, and ghosts from both of their pasts, Sly and Hagar cling to the one thing that has kept them going so far—hope.
