Daughters of Northern Shores


Daughters of Northern Shores, by Joanne Bischof, continues the tale of the Norgaard brothers.  You learned of Thor Norgaard in the first tale, Sons of Blackbird Mountain.  This second tale discusses the journey of Haaken Norgaard.  After Haaken offends Thor's soon-to-be wife, Aven, he runs away to sail the high seas!

Following  several years of sailing around the world, Haaken finally decides to return home, hoping to find forgiveness.  Unfortunately, when Haaken shows up unannounced at the family orchard, instead of open arms, he finds his family ready to go to battle with the Norgaard's neighbors!

Even though the year is 1895 and the Civil War is long over, their neighbors still want to carry on with the Confederate mindset.  Now the Norgaard's feel that their families are in danger, as well!

Hang on to see the battle that actually breaks out on their mountain.  As Haaken dives in to protect his family, at all costs, his mind cannot keep from wandering back to the beautiful widow he left behind in the countryside of Norway.  This high-paced tale will come to an interesting conclusion!

I received this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for my honest review.
