Determined to stand her ground and find her place in the world, Ellie fills her time by opening a day school for young ladies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when one of her students turns out to be an incorrigible young member of the Turlock family, Ellie knows she must walk a fine line. Slaveholders and whiskey magnates, the Turlocks are envious of the powerful Ballantynes and suspicious of their abolitionist leanings. As Ellie becomes increasingly entangled with the rival clan--particularly the handsome Jack Turlock--she finds herself falling in love with an impossible future. Will she betray her family and side with the enemy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMasterful storyteller Laura Frantz continues to unfold the stirring saga of the Ballantyne family in this majestic tale of love and loyalty. This is the Ballantyne Legacy.\u003cp\u003e\"Frantz's in-depth historical research combines with her fascinating characters to create a gripping romance that kept me turning pages late into the night.
