Angel's Freedom - Waldmann Family Saga, #1

Her family thrown into turmoil. Her best friend ripped away. Will it cost this young farming serf her dreams? Northern Germany, 1799. Fifteen-year-old serf Angel Waldmann's hardworking existence on her family's farm varies little from day-to-day. Born into a harsh reality, her simple aspirations are complicated only by her best friend being the daughter of a lower-status tenant. But fate delivers a cruel blow when the count who owns the Waldmann family reneges on an assurance of freedom, and sells them off to a local farmer. With her father accusing the noble of breaking his word, Angel's world falls into turmoil as her family becomes embroiled in an unpleasant court case.
And worse still, her parents' disastrous decisions rip her apart from her lifelong friend, and throw the poor girl (and her alcoholic father) to the mercy of a callous new landlord. Will her family's fight for justice tear Angel away from everything she knows and loves? Angel's Freedom is the first book in the Waldmann Family Saga historical fiction trilogy. If you like meticulously researched settings, factually-based dramas, and young hearts battling emotional upheavals, then you'll love Katharina Gerlach's tale of struggle and friendship. Buy Angel's Freedom to bring this pivotal time in German history to life today!
