Publisher's summary

After two long years, hardworking dairy farmer Andrew Bjorklund is thrilled to see his fiancée, Ellie Wold, again. But when materials to build their new home are delayed, Andrew grudgingly postpones the wedding. While Ellie works at the post office, Andrew finishes their new barn. Soon a tragedy threatens their future and forces them to fully rely on God.

Lauraine Snelling, an award-winning author of over 50 inspiring books, set this compelling novel in Blessing, North Dakota, circa 1900.

Not the 1st in the Series

When I ordered this book I did not realize that it was the 3rd or 4th in the Blessing series. Fortunately, I had already read the previous books awhile back and understood most of the references. If you like Snelling, you'll like this book.

Great Book

I really enjoyed this book. I haven't listened to any of the others in this series, but it stands well on its own. The narrator is good, too.

Enjoyable story real people’s problems

Read many of the Bjorkand family’s stories. This one was about grown up Andrew and Ellie. Andrew as a child made me laugh a lot. Funny but caring little kid.
