Lori Benton's The Wood's Edge - Guest Review

The Wood's Edge by Lori Benton

Regina Fujitani's Guest Review of The Wood's Edge by Lori Benton (Waterbrook, May, 2015)

Lori Benton has written a riveting tale of two families, the Oneida and the British. Two families-two cultures that will be impacted by a decision that will change their lives. A young woman is caught between two worlds. A young man is destined to help both families, and to be reunited with his twin brother.

A British colonel loses his baby in childbirth. A young mother with twins that are different in color, one white and one brown. The baby that died has been switched with the white twin. A father that loves his wife, is desperate to save her from another loss.

As the story begins, the Indians and French are fighting an English fort. Two women give birth, one baby dies, the other gives birth to twins.. As the father is evacuating the fort with his wife and the baby she believes is hers. As they are retreating they are attacked by Indians. A fight for their survival becomes imminent.

Colonel Aubrey's adopted daughter, Anna, finds herself friends with Two Hawks. Two Hawks is William's brother. As the story unfolds and the truth comes out, will the two fathers find forgiveness? Or, will there be a war?

I loved how Lori told this story. I felt like I was there during the Indian raid, with Anna, Two Hawks, and William. I felt like I was right there in The Wood's Edge. From the first page to the very last, Lori will keep you drawn into the pages. This beautiful story is worth your time!

I give this book five stars! I cannot wait to read the next book!
