I just finished Love's Awakening. It was the first book I have
read written by Laura Frantz. I will be reading more, including book 3! This
book developed the characters carefully and you begin to become very fond of
them. As the book progressed you could see that the author had done her
homework and knew the time period, the situation and culture of the people of
this setting well. That it would be hard to find parental support in a marriage
between two families that had serious bad feelings about each other is an
understatement. This caused the tension to be there, knowing how Ellie and Jack's
feelings had to be suppressed, and hidden at best. This book revolved around
the theme of the underground railroad, and slavery problems of that era. The
author clearly paints the picture of the experiences that were prevalent in
this time period. Can't wait to read the next book.
