Far from her
Danish home and family, Maren makes the best of her life in war ravaged
Missouri. After coming to America for a
prearranged marriage, the bridegroom backs out, Maren finds refuge in the home
of the Widow Bratenburg helping to raise the woman’s granddaughter. When Civil War Veteran Rutherford shows up to
reclaim his little girl and his place on the farm, Maren begins to look for a
way back to Denmark and her family. But
her heart might not let her leave.
This was a
nice short story. The main characters
each struggle with issues-some they have no control over, others are results of
actions they took-that leave them feeling that love will not come their
way. But, of course, a sweet summer
story should have a happy ending and this one does. It’s definitely a great way to wind down the
last days of summer vacation.
