Land to Call Home

Red River of the North Series #3

By: Lauraine Snelling

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

It had taken four long, difficult years to tame the virgin prairie of Dakota Territory. Looking back through all the heartache and the body-breaking labor, Ingeborg Bjorklund knew that God had been with them every step of the way. Dreams that had turned into veritable nightmares had been reshaped with the promise of a new day rising, and her marriage to Haaken had been its sure sign.

Hjelmer travels west to work on the railroad, and, after sending only one letter to Penny, who has agreed to wait for him, he is not heard from again. As the months pass, Penny is pursued by other eligible suitors, and her love for Hjelmer is sorely tried. Will he ever return to keep his promise?

A Land to Call Home

This is the second book I have read by Lauraine Smelling and I am looking forward to reading more from this wonderful author. Paired with narrator Callie Beaulieu , who lends her skills to bring the characters alive ,makes for hours of great reading .

I really enjoyed the book and the narrator has just a nice voice that makes the story come to life.

I really liked the story line and the way the scripture was woven through the story. Even though it is fictional the struggles of life are real to all of us. I was inspired by the application of God's word. Thank you for excellent books such as this that weave romance and struggles and joy all together.

As Expected...

Lauraine Smelling and Callie Beaulieu have done it again. I was so happy that the story finally gave us a long awaited marriage and a name for their town. I cannot wait to hear what comes next.
