Laura Frantz is my go to for frontier fiction and I have a new favorite book of hers in An Uncommon Woman . I know I seem to say that about all of her books once I read them, but this one has everything that I love about frontier fiction in one book. It’s the book I wished she’d write since I read The Frontiersman’s daughter. I’ve always loved captive narratives but I’ve never read an historical fiction novel that has done  I also didn’t think that any book would replace A Moonbow Night as my favorite but I do think at the very least An Uncommon Woman is tied for first as my favorite.

Tessa Swan is what I’d like to imagine real life frontier woman we’re like I’ve always pictured them being and strong and capable not damsels in distress, and Colonel Clay Tygart  is a hero unlike any I’ve read in books before, but  enjoyed  meeting him. And like previous military heroes Laura shows that war effects all military man rather or not they have physical scars, war scars every fighter.  I love that Laura doesn't shy away from that in fiction because in real life no military person comes home un-scared they just aren't all physical. Laura's military heroes hold a special place in my reading heart. I also have to say this book has one of the most stubborn and hard headed  characters I’ve ever read. There’s one secondary character that managed to get quite a few chuckles out of me during my reading which was something I wasn’t expecting.  The far western Virginia frontier in what is now modern day West Virginia comes alive on the page which shows that Laura does her research.  An Uncommon Woman shows why Laura Frantz is the queen of frontier fiction.
