Synopsis

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)

From AudioFile:

It's the early 1900s in Blessing, North Dakota. Ellie and Andrew plan their May wedding and are deeply disappointed when they must postpone it. As tragedy and mystery enter their lives, each must learn to trust God with his or her deepest feelings. Renee Ertl narrates with credible skill. She does not, however, match voice with character. Though this might be disconcerting at the beginning, one finds that the story is engaging even without audible characterization. The pacing and intensity come through well. This simple and sweet love story has a predicable ending and exemplifies faith, commitment, and forgiveness. N.L. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
