Publisher's summary

The American Revolution is finally over, and Sophie Menzies is starved for good news. When her nearest neighbor, General Seamus Ogilvy, finally comes home to Tall Acre, she hopes it is a sign of better days to come. But the general is now a widower with a small daughter in desperate need of a mother. Nearly destitute, Sophie agrees to marry Seamus and become the mistress of Tall Acre in what seems a safe, sensible arrangement. But when a woman from the general's past returns without warning, the ties that bind this fledgling family together will be strained to the utmost. When all is said and done, who will be the rightful mistress of Tall Acre?

Her careful historical details immerse the listener in the story's world, and her emotional writing and finely tuned characters never cease to enchant fans both old and new.

Another winner!

I love books by Laura Frantz. Her stories are always very well written with characters that are multidimensional. I especially enjoy her audio books. I hope more of her books become available to listen to.

This story grabbed my attention from the very beginning. I appreciate the historical details and loved the emotional story with family and faith values intertwined throughout. It's a winner for everyone who enjoys a well written story where the narrative enhances the experience. Loved it!! I want more!!

One of my Favorite Authors

Laura Frantz continues to provide good stories that are descriptive, complex and well thought out. This is one of my favorites as it explores not only how complicated relationship can be, it sets in the revolutionary period of America and it's aftermath, bringing into focus the loyalties, patriotism, and consequences of the war.

Wow this was great!

Laura Frantz is wonderful at weaving a story that totally keeps you engrossed, and this one does not disappoint. The characters are well developed and interesting and the story has a great plot and some twists and enough romance to keep the listener engaged. It’s clean and faith based. The narrator does a great job too with enough distinction between the voices so that the listener knows which character it’s coming from. Worth a credit for sure!

Another Laura Frantz favorite.

I have read this book three times in seven years. I now own the audiobook and was delighted to enjoy it once again. The narrator did an excellent job with each voice and was easy to follow. The story line is well written and the characters were believable and flow naturally under Laura’s talented hand. I love all the authors books, but this one is one of my personal favorites.

Loved it!

I always have an audio book available as I spend a lot of time in my truck. But this one...this one made me want to take the EXTRA long drives! I even listened to headphones in my living room one night (something I've NEVER done!).
Beautifully written and narrated. ❤️

Great fluff book for a relaxing read

I really enjoyed this book, it was good at telling the listeners of Sophie and Seamus’s faith but not in an uncomfortable way like some Christian books. I didn’t like the surprise baby trope that showed up but the rest of the book was very good so I can look past it.
