Quote: “Get behind him, that’s the plan. Keep him enthralled. I’m holding the cards. Seduce him. Keep calm.”

Synopsis: Freedom Oliver has plenty of secrets.  She lives in a small Oregon town and keeps mostly to herself.  Her few friends and neighbors know she works at the local biker bar; they know she gets arrested for public drunkenness almost every night; they know she’s brash, funny, and fearless.  What they don’t know is that Freedom Oliver is a fake name.  They don’t know that she was arrested for killing her husband, a cop, twenty years ago.  They don’t know she put her two kids up for adoption.  They don’t know that she’s now in witness protection, regretting ever making a deal with the Feds, and missing her children with a heartache so strong it makes her ill. Then, she learns that her daughter has gone missing, possibly kidnapped.  Determined to find out what happened, Freedom slips free of her handlers, gets on a motorcycle, and heads for Kentucky, where her daughter was raised.  As she ventures out on her own, no longer protected by the government, her troubled past comes roaring back at her: her husband’s vengeful, sadistic family; her brief, terrifying stint in prison; and the family she chose to adopt her kids who are keeping dangerous secrets.

Thoughts:  Freedoms Child was a thrilling novel. I thought it was very well written because a lot of books that have to deal with the type of situations Freedom deals with the characters were portrayed as these unemotional heroes and Freedom was far from that. She was realistic she struggled she was scared she was human and that's one of the main reasons I was drawn into this novel. Not only did the main character draw me into the book but the book cover and summary itself. I’ll admit the book cover isn't the greatest but with me being so obsessed with sons of anarchy the picture of the girl on the motorcycle hooked me.

The story itself was thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat throughout Freedom's journey. From the very first sentence to the last I was in love with the whole idea that this woman killed her husband and is in hiding for it. I wanted to know what happened that made her snap and why she was being protected by the government. The author gives the reader a peak into

Freedom's mindset when she’s off her meds and it’s funny. In all honesty Freedom is a crazy character that makes you laugh because she is so immature for her age.

Now the book does talk about some touchy subjects from Freedom's past and although I wasn't sure about how I felt about reading those things I felt that I could understand why Freedom was the way she was. All the traumatic things she experienced and all the things she had to do made me feel like Freedom wasn't as bad as she thought she was. She was putting up a wall to hide her feelings from herself and others which is why she drank so much.

Other than the serious side of things the book ended on a great note it was cute and fluffy and also sad. The author did a great job with this novel and I would recommend this to anyone I can. I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
