Synopsis

A Sweet Final Chapter to the Bjorklund Family Saga After several years of widowhood and hard work, Ingeborg Bjorklund has reached a place of contentment with her life. She enjoys watching Blessing, North Dakota, thrive and grow, filled not only with her extended family, but also newcomers like David Gould. Though a high-society businessman from New York City, David has become a dear friend. But how should she handle the ways their relationship seems to be changing? Meanwhile, her son Thorliff is raising two children alone, still grieving the loss of his beloved Elizabeth. He is surprised, therefore, by the effect the new schoolteacher, Louisa Gutenberg, has on him. But would his feelings stay the same if he knew the real reason she visits her sister most weekends? With Blessing advancing forward, Thorliff decides to gather the stories of Ingeborg's life, and subsequently the history of the town, into a book. But with every glimpse into the past, Ingeborg will have to decide if her settled, predictable life is worth more to her than a future she hardly dares to imagine.

This book was wonderful but sad. I hate to see the saga of Ingeborg Bjorklund end . There have been so many wonderful books in the story of this family. Lorraine is one of my three favorite writers.

Goodreads review by Bonnie on October 16, 2020

I was so disappointed. I had to put off writing this review several days because I felt so bad. I know many of us wanted another Bjorklund/ Red River book, so I guess Lauraine Snelling acquiesced. It seems she brainstormed with her writer-helper friends and threw in a bunch of random ideas. I had a......more

Goodreads review by Courtney on August 25, 2022

I could not wait for this book to come out. I always wondered if David and Ingeborg would end up together, ever since the first time I read about him. I was disappointed to read so much about the Gould family. And much of the book seemed stilted or rushed. It’s hard for me to describe. I would’ve lo......more
