À propos de cet audio

The call for liberty creates a divide between family and country, desire and duty, love and loyalty.

In 1777, caught in the crossroads of the American Revolution, sisters Maebel and Coralie Bohannon's quaint New Jersey village becomes a battleground as they house American officers. Rebellion ripples through their family as members take opposing sides—Patriots and Loyalists—causing a deep chasm that fractures their once-unbreakable bond.

As Mae's friendship grows with the American general Rhys Harlow, Coralie continues her liaison with her childhood sweetheart, a British officer stationed in New York. Mae, torn between her deepening love for the general and suspicion that her sister is a British spy, leaves the only home she's ever known for the New York frontier. When betrayal strikes in the heart of the wilderness, she's forced to take a perilous journey that tests her very survival and those she loves, all in the name of liberty.

On the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Laura Frantz offers a stirring friends-to-lovers historical romance of divided loyalties, patriotism, sacrifice, sisterhood, and love set during the American Revolution.

There is nothing quite like a novel by Laura Frantz, and The Ballad of Chatham did not disappoint. This is a beautifully written, deeply grounded historical novel that blends faith, courage, and frontier life with care and authenticity. As the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence approaches, it is clear that Frantz shaped this story with a strong historical focus, enriching it with thoughtful details that anchor it firmly in its time. Moments like George Washington returning a lost dog to British General William Howe add subtle charm and credibility.

Mae and Rhys’s relationship is clean and wholesome, developed at a steady emotional pace, and Rhys’s certainty about who he is and what he stands for is especially compelling. The tension between Mae and her sister Coralie over divided loyalties adds depth and feels surprisingly relevant even today.

Pilar Witherspoon, usually excellent, had moments of awkward pauses and hesitation over words. Aside from this, her delivery remained strong.
