An Untamed Heart

By: Lauraine Snelling

Narrated by: Rachel Botchan

Eighteen-year-old Ingeborg Strand is certain she is destined to be an old maid. She's had several suitors but none she deemed worthy of spending her life with. That is, until she meets a university student from Oslo, and feelings stronger than friendship begin to develop between them. But tragedy strikes, and the future begins to look bleaker than ever.

Grief settles heavily over Ingeborg, and her mother suggests that she leave Norway and start afresh in America, as so many others have done before her. But how will she accomplish that with little money and no one to accompany her?

It isn't long before she meets Roald Bjorklund, a widower who has been planning to go to America for some time, lured by the promise of free land. He's a good man, a hard-working man - and he has a young son who desperately needs a mother. He's clearly interested in Ingeborg, but is he the answer to her prayers? And what about love? This isn't how she's always imagined it. Ingeborg Strand has a heartrending decision to make…

A wonderful story

Written so well, I could picture the smallest details and wanted to become part of the family. Worth every bit of the money!

Christian Historical Romance set in Norway

Nothing is ever guaranteed except the love of our Lord and Savior, and change!
I won't begin to spell or pronounce the names from this audiobook, but the heroine goes through more changes in one year, than anyone I've ever heard of! She's also got skills! Amazing skills in healing, midwifery, cheesemaking, and everything necessary for farming with sheep, cows, and chickens! She's also a born leader, but love is elusive till the hero arrives needing her medical intervention and tenderness! I laughed and cried, and hoped and prayed for the characters in this story! The narration was superb!

Perfect

Just the kinds of Christian love stories I crave, I highly recommend nothing could be more vivid and satisfying!

This is a great historical work of fiction, well worth your time.

I really enjoyed this read. I loved hearing the story of this young woman as she delivered her first baby as she traveled into the mountains with her family and as she fell in love. I cried along with her during her heart break. And I rejoiced as spring came to her land and into her heart.

Awesome as usual

I immensely enjoyed this prequel! Lorraine Snelling has a true gift for putting words together in such a way that I can picture what is happening in the book.
