Resumen del Editor

Nilda Carlson has been trying to save enough money to go to America for months, so when a letter arrives with an offer to pay her passage, she jumps at the chance. Her younger brother, Ivar, accompanies her, and they are thrilled to join older brother Rune and his family in the northern forests of Minnesota. But America is not everything Nilda imagined. A terrifying experience in a lumber camp shakes Nilda's confidence and trust in men, but a job helping a young widow raise her children and run her farm gives her a chance to build her own life.

When she meets Fritz, the children's schoolteacher, she is initially unimpressed and uninterested. His kindness and passion for learning begin to win her over, but how can she sacrifice her dreams for the future for a man she's still not sure of?

Amazing Story of Faith, Hope and Fortitude

Another amazing story. A family that struggles with the strains of moving to a new land and finding a lot more than they imagined. In the end, all were blessed with peace and hope.

Interesting

Snelling is one of the best authors for word pictures. The descriptions are so vivid that you can see and feel (and smell) every minute of the book.

Heartwarming story of struggles of coming to America, and the importance of family and Faith.

I enjoyed the fact that the characters in this novel have a distant relationship with those of the Red River north series.

Norwegian settlers

This story focuses on a family from Norway who came to America to realize a dream of owning land and settled in Minnesota. I have loved all of Lauraine Snelling’s books, especially the series set near the Red River of North Dakota. That series, as this one, is centered around a Norwegian settlement. I love their focus on hard work, family, and faith!

I really enjoyed this book

This book was a great listen. It got you involved with the characters lives and hopes.

Great Stories

I have listened to all of these books. And as I found a new one I was so excited to start. You must listen to all four of them!

Good book

I have enjoyed this book along with the previous. one. I will continue to search for additional books by this author.

love the writing and narration

I always hate for these books to end! Great story telling. I enjoy the series and characters so much.

Great read

I love Lauraine Snelling's book. The endings and events aren't always happy ever after. Great Stories.

A Breath of Hope

This was quite different, but very entertaining. Even shed some tears along with the smiles. The ending was a surprise and this was a continuing of some families from Book 1. Now on to the next.
Starting my repeat, second review.

I have listened to this series a second time. I loved it so much and was so amazed that there was so much that I needed to know. This family is now of my own, could not help it as her writing of all that has gone on, bringing us right into the picture. Could not help this as learning so much of the people of Norway and then here in America.

Do not miss this whole series, Book 3 is "A Season of Grace" and then Book 4 "A Song of Joy."
