A PROMISE FOR ELLIE BY LAURAINE SNELLING

314 PAGES................4 3/4 HOURS

This is the first in the Daughers of Blessing Series which continues with the lives of the families who immigrated from Norway. Ellie has moved away from Blessing but has faithfully corresponded with Andrew and they plan to marry after graduation in June. When Ellie returns for graduation, things seem different between them and she is wondering if she truly loves him as a wife or just as a good friend which they have been since childhood. Andrew wonders if Ellie loves him and then his father, Haaken Bjorklund, suggests that they postpone their wedding until the Fall.

I am looking forward to the next three in the Daughters of Blessing Series, it seems that I have begun to know these families pretty well in the reading of these books and will be sad then I have finished all of Snelling's books about these brave hard working immigrants.
