Lori Benton
Lori Benton was born and raised east of the Appalachian Mountains, surrounded by early American and family history going back to the 1600s.
Her novels transport readers to the 18th century, where she brings to life the Colonial and early Federal periods of American history, creating a melting pot of characters drawn from both sides of a turbulent and shifting frontier, brought together in the bonds of God's transforming grace.
When she isn't writing, reading, or researching 18th century history, Lori enjoys exploring the mountains with her husband - often scouring the brush for huckleberries, which overflow the freezer and find their way into her signature huckleberry lemon pound cake.

Lori Benton recommends
Through Water and Stone (2025)
(Zion National Park, book 1)
Karen Barnett
"I've enjoyed every Karen Barnett National Park novel, but her newest proves the most gripping in this series to date. The red-rock canyons, mesas, and rivers of Zion National Park are such integral story elements; Through Water and Stone couldn't be set anywhere else. With companionable characters, engaging dialogue, and situations both intriguing and heartfelt, I could have spent twice the chapters immersed in this story and still regretted turning that last page, but I turned them fast regardless because the generational mystery that unfolds across the book's split -time frame was too compelling not to - and twisty enough to keep me guessing to the end."
The Healing of Natalie Curtis (2021)
Jane Kirkpatrick
"A heroine worth rooting for--all the more because this story is true."
An Uncommon Woman (2020)
Laura Frantz
"Peopled with characters as resilient and compelling as the terrain they inhabit, An Uncommon Woman is an engaging story that had me up late turning pages."
