The Reapers' Song (Red River of the North Book #4)
Ever so slowly Dakota Territory is being transformed from a vast
prairie into rich farmland. With the coming of the railroad, the
small town of Blessing begins to prosper, and the Bjorklund family
is reaping the promised harvest that had lured them from their
beloved home in Norway.
But for Ingeborg and Haakan, realizing their dreams will not come
without a struggle. After their own fields are harvested, Haakan
and the neighboring men take the steam engine and the separator on
the road, threshing for other homesteaders in return for a portion
of their grain. With Haakan away and the fields standing idle,
Ingeborg frets over work yet to be done. Fearing an early change of
seasons, she takes matters into her own hands.
Has the land become more important to Ingeborg than her own
family?
