About this listen

On a bitter December day in 1785, Silas Ballantyne arrives at the door of master blacksmith Liege Lee in York, Pennsylvania. Just months from becoming a master blacksmith himself, Silas is determined to finish his apprenticeship and move west. But Liege soon discovers that Silas is a prodigious worker and craftsman and endeavors to keep him in York. Silas becomes interested in both of Liege's daughters - the gentle and faith-filled Eden and the clever and high-spirited Elspeth. When he chooses one, will the other's jealousy destroy their love?

This novel is set in York, Pennsylvania during 1785. Silas Ballantyne, the hero, is an apprentice blacksmith to master blacksmith Liege Lee in York, Pennsylvania. The Lee family try to trick him into marrying their promiscuous elder daughter, Elspeth.

Silas is a great price, he's scottish, a hard worker and a skilled craftsman. His faith is very important to him. He falls in love with the younger Lee daughter, Eden, who is gentle and trying to find a way to explore her faith. The novel details their journey and obstacles they have to overcome.
