Good Reads Reviewer 5 Stars
"I loved this book! The plot seemed so original. For an avid reader, sometimes it seems so many books are so familiar, but not this read.
The thing that I love about Joyce Crawford's book is that she ties the gospel into the storyline.
When you see that at the end of the story, you can look back and see glimpses of where it appeared earlier, and the parables that she used subtly."

Titan Book Review
In Royal Order of the Last Coin, Joyce Burton Crawford embarks on a captivating journey through her family’s past, unearthing a hidden chapter that reaches back to the 13th century. This compelling narrative blends themes of service, courage, faith, romance, and moral conviction, all centered around the birth of the De Burton legacy. Crawford masterfully intertwines history and storytelling, crafting a narrative that feels alive with emotion and depth.
​
Rather than a straightforward recounting of historical facts, Crawford reimagines events through a unique blend of fact and fiction. Her writing defies the conventions of traditional historical works, transforming what could have been a dry retelling into an engaging and emotionally resonant story. She doesn’t simply list events; instead, she adds touches of humor and moments of romance that draw readers in, making history feel fresh and relatable. Narrated from the perspective of her ancestors, the book unfolds in third person, giving each character their own voice and allowing their stories to develop with nuance. This narrative choice brings the past to life, giving readers an intimate view of the lives, struggles, and convictions of those who shaped the De Burton legacy.
Despite the centuries between them, these ancestors feel vivid and immediate, their experiences unfolding naturally through Crawford’s careful and concise prose. Joyce’s writing is clear and accessible, ensuring readers can easily follow along as she guides them through her family’s rich history. She sets the stage from the outset, explaining her purpose and providing context for what is to come. Every scene and event is described in meticulous detail, making the story not only easy to follow but deeply immersive. The reader is transported into the world of her ancestors, experiencing the weight of their decisions and the significance of their faith.
​
While the pace occasionally slows during more detailed sections, these moments offer readers time to reflect on the deeper themes at play—faith, legacy, and personal duty. Crawford isn’t merely recounting her ancestry; she’s capturing the essence of the values that shaped her family, particularly their unwavering devotion to God.
A prisoner of his own mind, Richard de Burton’s family’s past haunts him. Having been unable to complete knights’ training and living up to his ancestor’s expectations and earning the title bestowed upon his ancestors since 1306, and losing the love of his life, Richard leaves his ancestral manor in Staffordshire, England in November of 1605 and sails to The New World in hopes for a new life, a life where he doesn’t feel the weight of his failures on his shoulder.
After a harrowing journey across the sea, Jamestown isn’t quite what Richard expects, but it’s a new place to prove himself, find a new home, and hopefully someone to share his home with. But there’s only one woman whom he wants to spend his life with, and she has been promised to someone else. Can anyone take his dear Elizabeth’s place?
Finding friendship with the most unlikely people, Richard learns what it means to start fresh and show God’s love to everyone, even those deemed savages by everyone else.
What awaits Richard in Jamestown? Will he find a new home with love and hope and prove that he’s more than a title?

In this thrilling third installment of the Faith of Our Fathers, John Running Stream finds himself alone, his father Richard de Burton dead these four years.
In his troubled mind, John struggles with his decision to move his family.
Violence from the British, pressing for more land, and the Iroquois' greed for more fertile hunting grounds, forces the family to again leave their home in 1641. They forge across the Alleghenies to a land where blue grass grows abundant and sweet, and peace enfolds them. Richard Burton and his family make a new home in the Indian territory of Kentucky.
How will God lead the family? What adventures await them?
In Williamsburg, the fourth installment of the Faith of Our Fathers series, Darcy Burton embarks on a new chapter of womanhood, healing, and spiritual awakening. Leaving behind the familiar rhythms of her Missouri village, she settles with her husband, John Jacy, in a rapidly growing colonial town, where the pulse of English society beats against the memory of home.
​
As autumn paints Virginia in golden hues, Darcy weaves her native traditions into the fabric of a foreign land. Her identity as a healer deepens—guided by the prayers of her ancestors, the whisper of prairie winds, and a dream where laughter breaks the charge of stallions and dust. But as her voice strengthens, so too do the challenges: cultural misunderstanding, social resistance, and the quiet ache of homesickness.
​
In a place where appearance often overshadows truth, Darcy holds fast to what cannot be seen—faith, memory, and the sacred wisdom passed through generations. When called to tend the ailing governor, she walks the path of her foremothers, bearing not just healing herbs but the steadfast calm born from spiritual vision.
​
Yet, Williamsburg is not only Darcy’s journey. Woven throughout are moments of tenderness and trial with dear friend Gladys, signs of new life stirring in unexpected places, and the ever-watchful presence of those who will carry the story forward.
​
With lyrical prose and heartfelt conviction, Williamsburg continues the generational saga of reverence, resilience, and renewal. As one season ends and another begins, the series invites readers to walk softly, remember deeply, and believe courageously.
