This was a refreshing story filled with people that have problems and heartaches, but have each other and their faith to help them endure. I enjoyed how the author made them real people and showed you what they were thinking at times (thoughts we have all probably had). I look forward to reading the other stories in this series.

Ellie can't wait to graduate because then her and Andrew Bjorklund plan to marry. Andrew has loved Ellie since she was little and is very disappointed when his father asks him to hold off the wedding until after harvest. As Andrew and Ellie wait they must learn to understand each other better. Andrew has a hard time with his temper at times. In the meantime you will watch their new barn go up and their new house. But tragedy does strike during this story and seeking revenge is never a good move.

I think there might be a series of books about this family written before this one, and might go back and read up on how some of the "older folks" in this story came together. ( )

This book . . . wow! This picks up right after the Red River of the North Series, continuing Ellie Wold and Andrew Bjorkland's stories. I love the characters of Andrew and Ellie, so I loved this book. A lot of plot twists you didn't see coming. Heart-wrenching and heart-warming all at the same time. Not something I would read over and over again, because of some serious themes, but definitely a must read! ( )

As their plans unraval, it looks as if their love may not survive. Is this the end of their dream?

This book feels longer than it really is. I'm sorry to say so, but it does. I've heard of Lauraine Snelling and learned that her books are clean and Christian-based. That part pleased me, but her writing style bores me to tears. Ellie and Andrew are two of the most boring couples I've heard read about in my life. There is no chemistry! The supporting characters in the story are fine, but nothing great. In some places, I found myself hurrying/skimming just to be finally finished.

I don't think I'll be reading another Lauraine Snelling book anytime soon. ( )
