Though she has known hardships in her life, Ingeborg Bjorklund chooses to focus on all she has been given. Blessed with children and grandchildren, she enjoys the friendship and support of the entire Blessing, North Dakota, community. And after several years of widowhood, she has reached a place of contentment with her life.

Meanwhile, her stepson, Thorliff, is raising two children alone since his beloved Elizabeth died. But there is a new schoolteacher in town, Louisa Gutenburg, and Thorliff doesn't seem to be himself whenever she's around. It isn't just his obvious fascination with Louisa, but the fact that he seems completely oblivious to it that makes Ingeborg smile. How long before Thorliff realizes what everyone else can see a mile away?

But not everything is comfortable for Ingeborg. One of her dearest friendships is changing - and she will have to decide if her settled, predictable life is worth more to her than a future she hardly dares to imagine.

I have throughly enjoyed listening to an example of the hardships and challenges of our early settlers. Somehow they were able to keep God alive in their hearts.

Great series!

What an interesting way to end the series!

This is set many years later. There are many favorite characters deceased, but little or no information on the details.
Thorliff a preteen in the last book is a widow with 3 Littles in this story. His mother Is also widowed and both find love again in this book!
I loved the conclusion, I just wish there were many gaps filled in for this curious reader!
The narration was very good! I know she was the same narrator throughout the entire series, while I appreciate this detail, it might as well have been a different narrator as different as it seemed between each book!
I highly recommend this series, whether book or audiobook! Many listeners aren't nearly as nitpicky as I am!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Disappointed in the reader, because she has a calm voice and doesn't seem to change voices when it's another character. Loved the storyline, sorry it's over.

I have loved this whole series from Red River of the North, Return to Red River of the North, and beyond. I don’t even know how many books there are. You learn to love Ingabord and all of the characters. You laugh with them and you cry with them. You never want the books to end. This is my favorite books and characters of all times. Be blessed!

This Series is Beyond Amazing!

These are some of the best books I’ve ever listened to. The historical events that occurred during this period of time along with the way of life and hardships people in this area of the country lived through, especially being told from the standpoint of Norwegian immigrants make these book so interesting! There are so many historical details and the characters lives are so woven together that I still hear something new even when I listen to them again. In addition they are so wholesome and are filled with so many Biblical truths that they are comforting to listen to over and over.

Love the narrator! Love the author!

Snelling's books are always engaging, as well as inspiring. The end, telling what happened to many characters in this series, is an added delight.
