After a lengthy correspondence with her late husband's aunt, Aven Norgaard travels from Norway to 19th-century Appalachia intending to care for three young boys. Instead, she finds three grown men and learns that their mother has died. Unsure of what to do, she keeps her promise to Aunt Dorothe to care for "her boys" as a housekeeper. Haakon tries to woo her, Jorgan attempts to make her feel at home, and Thor, who was born deaf, turns out to be a man of deep feelings yet hides his yearnings by consuming liquor. As Thor's feelings for Aven grow stronger, he vows to give up the alcohol if Aven will have him; but first, he will have to battle his brother Haakon for her hand.
VERDICT Christy- and Carol Award-winning author Bischof (The Lady and the Lionheart) creates endearing characters and a heartwarming story line in this unforgettable novel about the power of family, love, and the true meaning of home. Fans of Kristy Cambron, Julie Klassen, and Susan Meissner will love this one.
