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 York. 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?

Laura Frantz has long been one of my favorite authors, and Love’s Reckoning reminded me why.

I read this book when it first came out, and now I have revisited it through the audio version. I’m so glad I did. Laura has a gift for creating memorable heroes, and Silas is certainly one of them.

Immersive, emotionally engaging, and spiritually meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys well-written Christian historical fiction.

Just as Good the Second Time Around

I got very emotionally invested in this book and had a hard time “putting it down”.
Good thing it’s an audio book!
It had many ups and downs. Well written and very well narrated.
