- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/51st quarter 76/320 2nd quarter 244/320This book is about a young couple,Andrew and Ellie, who have been destined to get married since they were little.As soon as they graduate out of highschool they were supposed to get married but their parents made them postpone the wedding. During the time between then and the day they get married they discover other sides of each other they never knew and question whether they should get married or not.There are 2 main characters Andrew and Ellie.Andrew is a big teddy bear. He is really sweet but looks tough on the outside.Ellie is this blonde sweet intelligent person who doesn't have one bad thought about anyone and always looks on the bright side of life.They both change throughout the book in the same way.They both widen their horizons of looking at the outside and inside of each others personalities and sometimes find that they don't always like what they find. The things I could relate to was their families.Their parents want whats best for them but don't always do what you want to give you the best things. What I didn't like about the book was where they left off at the end(i wont tell what happened) but I didn't like it. I would recommend this to any girl who loves a good love story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this via Book on CD from Recorded Books Inspirational. Overall I enjoyed the story. It was really long though, and not quite enjoyable for the entire time. It starts with an accident that is never explained, and there are a couple other related events that I guess stuck out to me more, but they never had answers and that sort of thing bothers me. The main themes of the book are about growing up, and dealing with anger appropriately. Oh my goodness, the anger that these character personalities felt. I cannot tell you how angry I would get with them sometimes! It was a good book, and I could completely hear the sounds and felt myself there with those homesteading Norwegians, but I just did not love it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Book 2 in this series (and I found there are two other series before this one, that deals with the Bjorklund family: "Red River of the North"- 6 books, "Return to Red River"-3 books, then this series-"Daughter of Blessing"-4 books, followed by "Home to Blessing"-3 books, and finally, "Song of Blessing"-4 books). I am going back to see how this family all came together.In this story you will follow Sophie, who always dreamed of leaving the Red River Valley and traveling to other places. She will talk Hamre Bjorklund into marrying her and taking her with him back to his home as a fisherman in Ballard, Washington. But she will discover that her hasty decision was not without its consequences. She truly loved her Hamre but life in a fisherman's town was not what she was expecting. Then tragedy will strike and Sophie will have to find her way back home pregnant and alone. How will her family react to her return, and how she finds her place in the town of Blessing will show you her fighting spirit. Another good and honest look at the Norwegian people and how they lived their lives in North Dakota in the year 1901. Looking forward to many more stories about this town and the people in it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the second novel in the Daughters of Blessing series and centers on seventeen-year-old Sophie who elopes with Hamre and moves to Seattle. The title of the book says it all: Sophie faces more than one dilemma as circumstances in her life overwhelm her. The author tells an interesting story while being consistent with the tenets of Christian fiction. I enjoyed this book more than the first one. The series is set in North Dakota very early in the 20th century, and the author does a good job of recreating that time period for her readers, including the excitement over a washing machine that could wash and wring out clothes. (We’ve come a long way, baby!)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Enjoyed this one. This whole series is very good - each one stands on its own, and yet links to the others - making them relevant but you can read them in any order. (Which is good since that is what I am ending up doing!) Sophie in this one made me want to shake her a bit. But then, I guess we all go through really dumb periods where we have to learn to grow up. :)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It’s an awesome book. But you have to read it to find out
