Description

In 1910 Minnesota, Nilda Carlson's dreams are coming true. Though her first few months in America were difficult, her life now resembles the images that filled her daydreams in Norway. She and her younger brother Ivar live in their own house, just a short distance from her older brother and his family. Together they work the farm and fell trees for lumber. They plan to grow a dairy herd, weave rugs out of their own wool, and make skis to sell. Everything is going right.

The only thing missing from Nilda's life is love. But though she has two suitors--a quiet schoolteacher and a handsome lumberjack--Nilda feels hesitant. A terrifying experience in Norway has made her cautious where men are concerned. When she thinks she sees the man in question, all her fears come flooding back. Is it possible the danger has followed her across the Atlantic? If Dreng Nygaard is truly in Minnesota, all of her dreams for the future could come crashing down around her.

In 1910 Minnesota, Nilda Carlson's dreams are coming true. Though her first few months in America were difficult, her life now resembles the images that filled her daydreams in Norway. She and her...

I loved the first two books in the series and had been looking forward to the third book. I was anticipating the arrival of Nilda and Ivar wanted them to have a wonderful life reuniting with their family in Minnesota.

It was nice reconnecting with the characters and meeting new ones but unfortunately this storyline didn't hold my interest as much as the other ones did. As much as I dislike saying it, this story fell flat for me and it may have been my high expectations since I loved the first two so much. It isn't a bad book by any means, it just isn't one where I felt a connection to the new characters in the storyline.
I received a copy from the publisher through Netgalley and have given my honest opinion.

Lauraine Smelling is a favorite author of mine as well.
I've enjoyed this series immensely except for the strange names she gives her people.
I love their bravery for coming to a new country to start their lives over and begin anew. It couldn't have been easy in fact I know it wasn't!!
Heck just moving to a new school, state and town is difficulty enough. Making new friends is even harder much less in getting to know your neighbors!
I have been admiring Nilda. Her courage, stamina and determination is timeless and encouraging to others.
Lauraine makes me a part of her stories the moment I open one of her books which is why I always look forward to seeing what she has coming out next!
I recommend this book or any of her really! My thanks to Netgalley. NO compensations were received. All opinions are my own.
