Return to Blessing, North Dakota, with the story of Andrew Bjorklund and Ellie Wold. After graduating in May of 1900, the two make plans to marry once the harvest is over and their new house is finished. They spend the summer working hard, and the Lord seems to shine on and in them in a special way. Everyone rejoices in their happiness. Everyone except for Toby Valders, who is determined to get even for all the drubbings he has taken from Andrew through the years. Andrew, however, has promised Ellie there will be no more fistfights. But when their new barn burns--and many of their possessions and dreams with it--Andrew throws his vows of nonviolence aside, reaping bitter consequences. Why is the life he has so looked forward to now unraveling so quickly? (Daughters of Blessing Book 1)

Andrew Bjorklund and Ellie Wold are preparing for life together on their farm, but when their new barn burns will their dreams and future go up in smoke too?

Andrew Bjorklund and Ellie Wold are preparing for life together on their farm, but when their new barn burns will their dreams and future go up in smoke too? Daughters of Blessing book 1.

Ellie Wold can't wait to graduate from high school. She and Andrew Bjorklund have been waiting to get married since...well, since forever, and in June they will finally wed. When Andrew announces they have to postpone the wedding, she's disappointed but takes it in stride--there must be a good reason, or Andrew's pa wouldn't ask it of them. But Andrew is angry and can't understand why Ellie isn't upset too, especially when they'd been planning to "marry up" ever since they were in grade school. Disgruntled, he works out his frustration in stubborn determination to finish building their barn and mail-order house, working himself to exhaustion. But just when the new house is nearly finished, an unthinkable tragedy occurs. Throwing aside the vow he made to Ellie, Andrew seeks revenge...As their plans unravel, it looks as if their love may not survive. Is this the end of their dream? (Daughters of Blessing Book 1)

The Good Book Stall

Large print edition available  
This was the first Lauraine Snelling book I had read, and I was quickly caught up into the story. I soon realised that the author had already written a series of titles about these Norwegian settlers in the Red River Valley in North Dakota, USA. This series is about the granddaughters of the original stories and each book stands alone, though it would be useful to have read more. I was interested enough to Google Red River Valley to understand the background more thoroughly. Lauraine Snelling’s love of the area and her knowledge of these people and how they lived shines through her storytelling. Set in the small but growing town of Blessing, this God-fearing agricultural community has its share of problems, Ellie and Andrew in particular. I am sure you will love to read about them
