Miriam Hastings has her future plans in place...
But Trygve Knutson is intent on changing them.
Just a few short weeks into her year-long training at the Blessing Hospital, Miriam Hastings is called home to Chicago, where her mother is gravely ill. With siblings to care for, Miriam pleads to be allowed to finish her training in Chicago. Her nursing supervisor grants her a brief reprieve but extracts a promise that Miriam will return to Blessing and fulfill her one-year commitment.
While in Chicago, Miriam has tried to get Trygve Knutson and Blessing out of her mind, but his letters make that impossible. Trygve is busy building a house, hoping he can convince Miriam to return to North Dakota and marry him. Torn between Trygve's love and her family's needs, she doesn't know what to do.
When Miriam finally returns to Blessing, she buries herself in her work. But no matter how hard she tries to put it off, she has some life-changing decisions to make about her future, her family... and the man who is never far from her thoughts.
What will it take to convince her to stay?
Me Review
Lauraine Snelling has really good
character and growth, keeping the theme of love and grace in the midst of tragedy
and loss. After the death of Ingeborg’s husband Haakan in the previous novel,
she has to learn to live the rest of her life without him, leaning on her faith
and family for strength.
And Miriam, losing her mother and
having to leave her siblings on their own. I forget sometimes the way the world
used to be and sometimes still is. Now torn between her family and the growing
love burning for Trygve, she has a choice to make that will break her heart
either way. But what is faith without hope?
A great sequel! It took me a while
to really get into it but once you do you’ll love it too!
I give this book a 4 out of 5!
I received this book for free from the
publisher in exchange for this honest and unbiased review as part Bethany House
blogging for book program.
