Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with.
Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself.
Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when she is taken captive by the tribe Clay left, his hand--and heart--are forced, leading to one very private and one very public reckoning.
Intense, evocative, and laced with intricate historical details that bring the past to life, An Uncommon Woman will transport you to the picturesque and dangerous western Virginia mountains of 1770.

My Thoughts:
This book, Y'all! This book is a historical lover's dream!
Laura Frantz brings the 1770's to life in a very real way. With her vivid imagery and storytelling Ms. Frantz has created real, believable characters and their world of fort life in 1770 Virginia to life on every page.
The budding romance between Tessa and Clay is swoon-worthy and shows Laura Frantz's talent at her finest.Tessa's desire for a flounced petty coat at the opening in the book just shows her sweetness. Clay was the perfect hero for this story. His care for not just Tessa but the entire Swan family was endearing.
While I wanted to read this quickly the moment I received it, I wasn't able to because of the holidays and it turned out for the best because this book is meant to be savored.
As with all of Laura Frantz's books the faith element is perfectly placed and sinks right into the reader's heart.
I highly recommend this book, it will enrich your life!
