Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Sandy on September 17, 2008

During the reading of this, I experienced some troubling moments in my own life. At one point, the main character of the book looks to the Lord for her peace. She keeps covering fearful and worrisome thoughts with Bible verses and by remembering the faithfulness of God in the past. It reached my hea......more
