Praise for
The Wood's Edge
“Meticulously researched. Alive and engaging.
The Wood's Edge
is a journey through the footsteps of America's formative years, with characters so wonderfully complex and a story of redemption so deep, only Lori Benton could tell it. I was transfixed from the first absorbing page to the last.”

“From the opening scene to the last line of the book, I was captivated by
The Wood's Edge
. Rich in history, with characters to weep for and to cheer for, this is a novel that will linger in my heart for a long time to come.”

and
Whenever You Come Around
“Open
The Wood's Edge
and see the secret. Then, hold itâpage after pageâbreathless. Rich in history and lush in story, Lori Benton's novel brings to life a cast of characters in a tale that spans two generations, two cultures, two worlds. In an era underrepresented in Christian historical fiction, Benton takes on the challenge of presenting the message of faith in its purest form. Love, grace, rebirth.”
