A New Day Rising (Red River of the North Book #2)
Spring of 1884 in Dakota Territory brings the promise of ... A
New Day Rising
The dream of a farmstead and a good life in America had led Roald
and Inegborg Bjorklund to cross the Atlantic and pioneer the virgin
prairie of Dakota Territory. But Roald's tragic disappearance in a
winter storm had turned Ingeborg's dreams into a living nightmare.
Against nearly impossible circumstances and overwhelming grief, she
struggles to keep the farm and her family together. Finally, with
the coming of spring and the arrival of Roald's distant cousin to
temporarily take over the heavy fieldwork, Ingeborg is definitely
on the mend after the long winter of darkness of both her soul and
mind. Able to return to her care of the children and the soddy,
Ingeborg cannot ignore the joy that Haaken brings to their lives or
the attraction she begins to feel toward him. When Roald's brother
from Norway also arrives to help her, things become very
complicated around the simple prairie dwelling! He Reminded Her of
a Viking of Old. Could He Be Persuaded to Stay?
