Don't let the title deceive you: this book has depth! It took me a while to even pick it up due to the caddy title, but once I did-I couldn't stop.The narrative of this story is beautifully written and clearly well researched.

A very good read. As Christian Historical Fiction goes, and a lot of it goes very well, "Courting Morrow Little" was a thoroughly enjoyable read—that is, when I wasn't worrying about whether it would turn out with a happy ending.

It is one of the best novels I've ever read. I didn't think a certain upsetting plot twist was needed late in the book, but the author ...
This is the first book in the Ballantyne Legacy series and what an excellent one it was! Laura Frantz has a way of putting words together that makes everything feel alive: the setting, the characters, the emotions, and the events. I absolutely loved Silas, what a strong, godly hero. He is so focu...
