Blacksmith Brides: 4 Historical Stories by Angela K. Couch, Amanda Barratt, Pegg Thomas
5.0
The Blacksmith Brides is a well-written Christian historical fiction anthology.
Worth Fighting For (1774—Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) by Pegg Thomas
There is talk of war, however, Meg McCraken has no time for such talk. Meg is seventeen and wants to find a beau. While Meg’s brothers and father are getting ready to fight in the war the blacksmith, Alexander Ogilvie, refused to go to war. Instead, Alexander had a desire to go west.
I was very surprised to see a distinguished visitor show up in the story and was eager to learn more. I would love to see a continuation of this story.
Forging Forever (1798—Cornwall, England) by Amanda Barratt
In his dying breath, Charles Bainbridge deeded his property to Josiah Hendrick instead of to his cousin Phineas Treverick. Elowyn Brody’s father auctioned her off calling her comely. Would her life be better? How could it? This was a beautiful story.
A Tempered Heart (1861—Charlottesville, Virginia) By Angela K. Couch
Thomas Flynn’s reward after serving as an apprentice for fifteen years was a run-down shop, a heavy lease, and debt. When Esther Mathews’s husband passed he left her with a hefty sum and with a young son. This was a wonderful story.
A Malleable Heart (California—1870) by Jennifer Uhlarik
After the passing of her parents, Leah Guthrie was appointed caretaker for her two sisters and one mischievous brother. Bo Allen and Leah Guthrie are introduced to one another because of the antics of her brother. I felt Bo and Leah worked well together.
I loved each of these stories and give Blacksmith Brides 5*/5*
