Determined to stand her ground and find her place in the world, Ellie fills her time by opening a day school for young ladies. But 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? 20131127. Christian Historical Fiction Pennsylvania. Families Pennsylvania Fiction. Christian fiction. Ballantyne legacy ; 2.
