I loved all the Blessing books! I am an ancestor of Norwegian immigrants who helped settle North Dakota and these books spoke to my heart. The Bible verses and mentions were so beautifully woven in that I didn't feel like I was reading "Christian" novels. The books were stirring and I couldn't wait to pick up the next one. I have now read all the second generation books and now need to go back and read about how it all started!
