A New Day Rising

I’m so glad to have read the second book in the series. I wanted to know what else happened with the family.

The Red River of the North series of books by Lauraine Snelling are fabulous books. If you have any Scandinavian heritage...or even if you don't...you will like these books. I have gained insight into how many of my relatives came to America through Ellis Island and settled in the Mid West states. I highly recommend!

Lauraine Snelling is such a wonderful writer. You can relate to the character's behaviors and beliefs. She does a wonderful job getting you to feel like you are there in the book.This is just a wonderful, clean, refreshing book/series. She gets so many emotions zinging through you as you are reading.

Ingeborg, a woman who is tough as a nail and as soft as a flower. In A NEW DAY RISING, Ingeborg meets a man who can and does match her! For a page turner, read this book. Only warning. Don't start to read it if you plan on putting it down soon. Lauraine Snelling keeps the characters so alive you see them in front of you. Working the fields, laughing and crying their tears. The only thing that will make me happy is to see if the third book is in the mail today!!! Lauraine takes a character and makes them your best friend or your worsed enemy! Either way you're going to love them!! A must read! Perfect Christmas Gift!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like Laurraine's style of writing. She shows us all of the details in a day of the life of the characters without making it long or boring. In fact, I read it too fast! Somehow encouraging while being a very good story as well.

Ingeborg having just gotten over the her husband's sudden death and is taming the land herself when her husband's cousin comes to her to offer his help. She is at first unwilling to let him but then she gives in and they grow close. IT is such a good love story I cannot even describe how good it is so you'll have to read it yourself!! And please DO!
