Description: The promise of free land lures
Roald and Ingeborg Bjorklund from their beloved home high above the
fjords of Norway, and after three long years of scrimping and saving
to buy tickets for their passage to America, they finally arrive at
the docks of New York City. This new land promises a rich heritage
for their children, and here they hope to build a good life.
After a long journey by train and then by covered wagon,
the Bjorklunds finally arrive in Dakota Territory, where they settle on
the banks of the Red River of the North. But the virgin prairie refuses
to yield its treasure without a struggle. Will Roald and Ingeborg be
strong enough to overcome the hardships of that first winter?
Proud of their heritage and sustained by their faith,
they came to tame a new land.

This is a fast moving book with twists and turns. It is
easy reading for the most part, except for a few passages of
dialogue. If you are interested at all in 1800 immigrant life,
you will find this book enthralling.
The story touched my heart and I can't wait to read the next in the
series
