Publisher Description

In this series finale by Lauraine Snelling, Astrid Bjorklund is trying to stop the epidemic ravaging South Dakota's Red Bud Indian Reservation. Tribal elders remain suspicious of her until some begin to recover. Although Joshua Landsverk longs to fix his broken relationship with Astrid, he opposes her present work but won't tell her why. Yet when a surprising act of kindness brings healing to the painful wrong inflicted years ago, will it be enough to rekindle their love?

"I've been reading the Red River of the North series (and all the spin-offs) for three years now. The books have spanned 24 years of these characters' lives. So when I read one of these books, it is more like a family reunion or visit with old friends. This wasn't the best book in the series but you can't expect every family reunion to be the best either. Still a wonderful read."

    " Thank heavens that this book ended the way I realistically thought it should. I was really thinking the author was going to go against the struggle and be completely pushy but that's not what happened. It followed a realistic path and I'm happy. Good read. "

    " I didn't like this book as well as the others in the series. It was a little slow at times and these are slow paced books anyways. But it was nice to have a conclusion to the series. Can't wait for Lauraine Snellings new series in November. This one dragged on a little too long. "

    " The third book in the series seemed to traipse off in another direction and was a bit disappointing. It did not seem to have as much plot, and instead placed all of the narrative in conversation. "
