Publisher's summary

Lovely but tough as nails, Lael Click is the daughter of a celebrated frontiersman. Haunted by her father's former captivity with the Shawnee Indians, as well as the secret sins of her family's past, Lael comes of age in the fragile Kentucky settlement her father founded. Though she faces the loss of a childhood love, a dangerous family feud, and the affection of a Shawnee warrior, Lael draws strength from the rugged land she calls home, and from Ma Horn, a distant relative who shows her the healing ways of herbs and roots found in the hills. But the arrival of an outlander doctor threatens her view of the world, God, and herself and the power of grace and redemption. This epic novel gives listeners a glimpse into the simple yet daring lives of the pioneers who first crossed the Appalachians, all through the courageous eyes of a determined young woman. Laura Frantz's debut novel offers a feast for fans of historical fiction and romance lovers alike.

Great frontier story

I loved the detail and frontier life. I loved the characters. However, the ending was not fulfilling for what the story had built up to from the first.

Great Historical Romance

I enjoyed this book because of the story, but also because the narrator brought it to life! I was able to truly feel like I was in the moment the entire book. I imagined all of the scenarios and could see the characters clear as day! Well worth a credit! Can't wait to hear more from this author and narrator!

Loved this novel!

My first book by Laura Frantz and i’m hooked. Loved the character building and love ALL the characters. I especially loved how patient God was with her and her relationship with Ian. I was kinda hoping she’d end up with Captain Jack...but then they’d be unequally joked. But I loved the story!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

This is a roller coaster ride! Sometimes I loved it, sometimes I hated it, sometimes I wondered if the author had a mental condition. She doesn’t, she knows exactly what she is doing! In the end, I love, appreciate, and feel a better person having read it!

Captivating

This is definitely one of my favorite Laura Frantz books. The love story is so rich and true. Loved the Christian side and how Lael came to find peace with God through the love from Ian. Great story!!

Truly a Good Story :)

Would you listen to The Frontiersman's Daughter again? Why?

I enjoyed this historical fiction story set in Kentucky. My only complaint is the overuse of the word truly. By the end of the book, it made me laugh every time I heard it. Otherwise a great story. The narrator was too breathy for my liking but otherwise did a good job. Worth listening too and a great message, but would someone please count the number of times they hear, truly, and let me know:)
