Book Overview
One Man's Past Could Affect All of Their Futures
With her younger brother Ivar in tow, Nilda Carlson is on her way to America to join her older brother Rune and his family in the northern forests of Minnesota. While she sees this as a golden opportunity, she has enough experience in life to know it won't be easy. The transatlantic voyage itself proves to be an adventure, and she hopes she will feel safe in her new home.
Rune and Signe Carlson are thrilled that Nilda and Ivar are coming to Minnesota, but life on the Strand farm remains a struggle. Rune is trying to build a house for his wife and children, but Uncle Einar Strand, obsessed with his own ambitions, refuses to help. What's more, he forbids anyone from the community to step foot on his land, leaving Rune to toil on his own. When a tragedy lays bare the truth behind Einar's anger and isolation, the Carlsons and Strands will have to come together like never before to become a true family.

JESUS is hope
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 8 years ago
A Breath Of Hope Is a rockin Christian tale - another by great story teller Lorraine Snelling. She really knows how to get you to feel the pain of the people as they tried to settle a new place. They fight animals, each other, the elements, Faith, and others. Then on the other side they embrace the elements, each other, friends, Others and Faith. Nilda and Ivar Come over to help their brother who has been hardened - changed and doesn't embrace them - but the town does. So what happens? Well you have to see what wins out - the elements, animals, others, each other or Faith. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.
