Ellie Wold can't wait to graduate from high school. She and Andrew Bjorklund have been waiting to get married since...well, since forever, and in June they will finally wed. When Andrew announces they have to postpone the wedding, she's disappointed but takes it in stride—there must be a good reason, or Andrew's pa wouldn't ask it of them. But Andrew is angry and can't understand why Ellie isn't upset too, especially when they'd been planning to "marry up" ever since they were in grade school. Disgruntled, he works out his frustration in stubborn determination to finish building their barn and mail-order house, working himself to exhaustion. But just when the new house is nearly finished, an unthinkable tragedy occurs. Throwing aside the vow he made to Ellie, Andrew seeks revenge. As their plans unravel, it looks as if their love may not survive.

      It's the early 1900s in Blessing, North Dakota. Ellie and Andrew plan their May wedding and are deeply disappointed when they must postpone it. As tragedy and mystery enter their lives, each must learn to trust God with his or her deepest feelings. Renee Ertl narrates with credible skill. She does not, however, match voice with character. Though this might be disconcerting at the beginning, one finds that the story is engaging even without audible characterization. The pacing and intensity come through well. This simple and sweet love story has a predicable ending and exemplifies faith, commitment, and forgiveness. N.L. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
