It's no secret, Laura Frantz is one of my favorite authors! Her new cover has just been released, and it is gorgeous! And as captivating as this cover is, I have no doubt that the story within will be just as captivating and breathtaking! I can hardly wait for the September 2012 release! It's going to be a sweet treat, indeed!About Love's Reckoning:
On a bitter December day in 1785, Silas Ballantyne arrives at the door of master blacksmith Liege Lee in Lancaster County, 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.
Laura is the author of three other books: The Frontiersman's Daughter, Courting Morrow Little, and The Colonel's Lady. If you haven't read them yet, I highly recommend adding them to the top of your list of must reads!
I can't wait to read Laura's newest book! The cover is gorgeous, and as you said, I'm sure the writing will be equally so. Thanks for the story synopsis-my anticipation is growing even more! :)
