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?
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.
