"I've enjoyed listening to this series on audio. It is set at the turn of the 20th century when the car, washing machines, etc. are being added to life on the prairie. I like the characters and the situations. I may go back and read the preceding series after I finish these. "

— Sheri, 11/22/2013" I love the whole series by Snelling so I was happy to have a continuation in the Bjorklund saga. I'm glad I didn't read the back cover as that gave most of the story away. I love her detailed story telling. As always I'm looking forward to the next read. "
