Publisher's summary

The dream of their own farmstead and a good life in America had brought Roald and Ingeborg Bjorklund across the Atlantic to pioneer the virgin prairie of Dakota Territory. But Roald's tragic disappearance in a winter storm turned Ingeborg's dreams into a living nightmare. Against nearly impossible circumstances and overwhelming grief, she struggles to keep the farm and her family together. When spring appears, Roald's distant cousin, Haaken, arrives to help with the heavy field work, and Ingeborg is able to once again concentrate her efforts on home and children. After the bleak winter, she cannot ignore the joy that Haaken brings to their lives or the attraction she begins to feel toward him. When Roald's brother from Norway also arrives to help the family, things become even more complicated around the simple prairie dwelling.

Critic reviews

"[ A New Day Rising is] distinguished for its detailed understanding of farm life on the prairie, which Snelling never romanticizes." ( Booklist)

Good second book in the series

Much more hopeful overall than book one, learning to get through fear, forgiveness and trust in God are some of the main elements. I’m looking forward to book three. Narration is very good.

charming historical novel, well performed

I read the first book in the series, found listening a bit harder to follow but charming. I enjoy all the historical detail. The narrator was very good. Pauses between scenes could have been better, and occasionally a flat tone, but overall, a well-modulated voice, with different voices and appropriate accents.
