About this ebook

Spring of 1884 in Dakota Territory brings the promise of ... A New Day Rising

The dream of a farmstead and a good life in America had led Roald and Inegborg Bjorklund to cross the Atlantic and pioneer the virgin prairie of Dakota Territory. But Roald's tragic disappearance in a winter storm had 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. Finally, with the coming of spring and the arrival of Roald's distant cousin to temporarily take over the heavy fieldwork, Ingeborg is definitely on the mend after the long winter of darkness of both her soul and mind. Able to return to her care of the children and the soddy, Ingeborg 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 her, things become very complicated around the simple prairie dwelling! He Reminded Her of a Viking of Old. Could He Be Persuaded to Stay?

Ratings and reviews

This book is as good as the first and all the ones that follow this one. I love the story of this family! I have read it so many times over! I own the paper back books and now I own then on my phone now too!

About the book. I love historical fiction and the fact that they're Christian historical fiction makes them even better. But they have been a blessing to my heart and edification of love of God in Christ Jesus. I would recommend these to anyone

So emotional seeing how life is changing for this cast of characters who come alive with the author’s gift of writing. I am going immediately to the next book!
