A Moonbow Night By Laura Frantz




From the beloved author of The Frontiersman's Daughter and Courting Morrow Little comes a new Kentucky novel...On the vast, uncharted Kentucky frontier of the 1770s, Temperance Tucker has learned to be fleet of foot, accurate with her rifle, and silent about the past. But her family secrets complicate her growing attraction to a handsome Virginia land surveyor with a harsh history of his own. Will the hurts and hardships of the past prevent them from a fulfilling future?

Award-winning author Laura Frantz is passionate about all things historical, particularly the 18th-century, and writes her manuscripts in longhand first. Her stories often incorporate Scottish themes that reflect her family heritage. She is a direct descendant of George Hume, Wedderburn Castle, Berwickshire, Scotland, who was exiled to the American colonies for his role in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, settled in Virginia, and is credited with teaching George Washington surveying in the years 1748-1750. Frantz lives and writes in a log cabin in the heart of Kentucky.

According to Publishers Weekly, "Frantz has done her historical homework." With her signature attention to historical detail and emotional depth, she is represented by Janet Kobobel Grant, Literary Agent & Founder, Books & Such Literary Agency of Santa Rosa, California.
 
Being from the Kentucky area I was super excited to read this book. Frantz paints the perfect picture of the wilderness and scenery that makes you feel part of the setting she is writing about.  I love Tempe, she is the perfect strong willed character that carries this story very well. You  have a wonderful romance that develops the entire book that will take your breath away. The author slowly develops a bond between Tempe and Sion. Each chapter begins with a quote from someone that lived in the era of the book. This is a great novel of love, loss, courage, and the strength to trust God and continue life.
I gave this book 4 stars and highly recommend it to Historical Christian fiction  lovers.
I received  this book from the publisher for review. A favorable was not required and all views expressed are my own.
