Freedom has a price. Obedience may cost her everything.

The war for Texas independence is over, but Isobel MacDonald soon learns that peace can carry its own kind of danger.

Now a young wife and mother on the growing Gulf Coast frontier, Isobel longs for ordinary days. Instead she finds herself drawn into a far more perilous battle—one fought not with muskets, but in shadows, silence, and whispered names.

When desperate freedom seekers begin moving south through Texas, Isobel is forced to choose whether her faith is merely something she professes… or something she is willing to risk everything to obey.

From the rough docks of Galveston to the storm-tossed waters of the Atlantic, from the halls of Baylor University to the abolitionist strongholds of New Bedford, her journey widens into a secret world of coded messages, hunted fugitives, and powerful men determined to stop them.

Along the way, Isobel will face political upheaval, family sacrifice, old enemies, and the haunting strains of a mysterious hidden melody that seems to rise whenever Providence is near.

Rich with unforgettable historical figures, sweeping adventure, and deeply moving Christian themes, Isobel’s Hidden Melody: Bound for Canaan is an inspiring saga of courage, obedience, and the long road toward freedom.

Some roads are marked on maps.

The most dangerous ones are written on the heart.
