William Crockett was born at sea in the middle of a storm, one that still wants to rage inside him. His life swirls full of secrets and bumblings and good intentions. But when he learns of an innocent girl about to be destroyed, he takes matters into his own hands, not considering the ramifications. Elizabeth Boulay lost her family—one by one—and now must escape or lose her freedom. Willie Crockett offers an idea, but can she trust this man she just met? Can he really help her hide in plain sight? And how long can they keep her identity secret? Thrown together on this high-seas adventure, the last thing Willie and Elizabeth need is to fall in love and risk exposing her. Can they find the mercy needed to make things right? And, if they do, will they recognize it when they see it? This third and final book in The Crockett Chronicles series is set in colonial North Carolina 1730 and aboard ship during the Golden Age of Sail. The Prodigal firmly establishes the Crockett family on American soil and reveals how the family legacy continues.
