Summary

It is 1893, and the first generation of immigrants who came to America for the promise of free land and a good life for their children have finally achieved their dreams. They labored hard on the land and now have a bountiful heritage to pass on to the next generation. However, many of the young people aren't interested in becoming farmers - they have aspirations of their own.

Thorliff Bjorklund has been writing stories and plays since he was a young boy and longs to attend college to study journalism. But his father has other plans for him and refuses to agree.

Thorliff is torn between love for his father and the pull of his dream. Must he choose between the two?

Terribly Disappointing!

I was so gutted with this book! Bitterly disappointed. I have listened to the whole series of these books and loved them. So I was really looking forward to this book. However it is a different narrator and I struggled with the weird accents and voices this narrator put on. None of the accents were accurate to the characters and the cadences and emphasis were truly awful. Why, oh why didn't they get the previous narrator, Callie Beaulieu, to narrate this additional novel? She is a wonderful narrator. I couldn't finish this and would not recommend.

Following on from Red River Series

This book is following on from the Red River Series with the story of Thorliff after he graduates.
I struggled a bit with some of the accents/voices the narrator used.
