Laura Frantz

Laura Frantz grounds historical fiction in early American communities, faith, and carefully researched material culture. Published by Baker’s Revell imprint, A Heart Adrift begins in colonial York, Virginia, in 1755, bringing a chocolatier and a returning sea captain together through an unfinished lighthouse project. Frantz’s books also include The Frontiersman’s Daughter, Courting Morrow Little, The Lacemaker, The Seamstress of Acadie, and The Rose and the Thistle. Baker identifies her as a two-time Christy Award winner and ECPA bestselling novelist. Across that work, private decisions meet the trades, local relationships, and political pressures of a particular historical moment.
