Blurb: Trygve Knutson is devoted to his family and his community. With his job on the construction crew, he is helping to build a future for the North Dakota town of Blessing. Though he loves his home, he sometimes dreams of other horizons--especially since meeting Miriam Hastings.

Miriam is in Blessing to get practical training to become an accredited nurse. She's been promised a position in the Chicago women's hospital that will enable her to support her siblings and her ailing mother. Although eager to return to her family, Miriam is surprised to find how much she enjoys the small town of Blessing. And her growing attachment to Trygve soon has her questioning a future she always considered set in stone.

Review: Ms. Snelling's tale is wonderfully told through her setting, characters, and story.

About the only issue I had with the book is that there seemed to be a bit of a disconnect between the blurb and the story itself.

For me, as a reader, the story - according to the blurb - didn't start until about halfway in and the ending left a few loose ends.

It felt more like I would have to wait for the next book in the series rather than a book in and of itself.
