Publisher Description
On a bitter December day in 1785, Silas Ballantyne arrives at the door of master blacksmith Liege Lee in York, Pennsylvania. Just months from becoming a master blacksmith himself, Silas is determined to finish his apprenticeship and move west. But Liege soon discovers that Silas is a prodigious worker and craftsman and endeavors to keep him in Lancaster. Silas becomes interested in both of Liege's daughters, the gentle and faith-filled Eden and the clever and high-spirited Elspeth. When he chooses one, will the other's jealousy destroy their love?
In this sweeping family saga set in western Pennsylvania, one man's choices in love and work, in friends and enemies, set the stage for generations to come. Love's Reckoning is the first entry in The Ballantyne Legacy, a rich, multi-layered historical quartet from talented writer Laura Frantz, beginning in the late 1700s and following the Ballantyne family through the end of the Civil War.
Customer Reviews
Wow!
This book was amazing! Couldn't put it down. Heart wrenching story from start to finish. This is my first book by Laura Frantz and I can't wait to read the rest!
Loved this book but could have been shorter
I loved this romance so much but the book was too long. She captures you and you can't put it down, but there comes a point where it just drags on with too much writing.
A real good story!
The story was well developed and hard to stop reading. I look forward to the squeal.
