About the Book
In 1776, Silas Harlan arrives in the colonies with nothing but a hammer and a dream. He builds a forge, a family, and a reputation for crafting the finest ironwork in the new nation. But as America grows, so do the pressures that threaten to tear the Harlan legacy apart.
His grandson, Thomas, inherits the forge during the height of the Industrial Revolution. Caught between the old ways and the relentless march of progress, Thomas must decide whether to adapt or hold fast to the principles his grandfather forged alongside the iron. And in the modern day, a descendant discovers a cache of family artifacts that reveal the true cost of the American dream.
Spanning from the Revolution to the present, Echoes of Iron is a sweeping family epic about craft, ambition, and the things we inherit — wanted or not.
