A Promise to Love
By Serena B. Miller
Serena B. Miller takes her readers on a rich, historical journey that combines both romance and a touch of mystery. In this fascinating story of love and family commitment, Miller introduces us to characters that capture our hearts and imagination as they discover that love is more than just words.
Ingrid Larsen, a young Swedish immigrant, arrives in Michigan in 1871 to search for her brother who has disappeared into the woods to work the dangerous lumber camps. Destitute and barely hanging on to hope, she encounters a newly-widowed farmer who is struggling to raise five children on his own. Marriage would solve both of their problems, and so Ingrid proposes to a man she barely knows. She will fight to protect her new family–but the hardest battle of all will be winning the heart of her new husband.
ISLAND BREEZES
How frightening it must be to be alone and destitute. Frightening enough to propose to a virtual stranger so that he can maintain custody of motherless children.
On the surface it looks like a good bargain for them both, but it gets really complicated in a hurry.
It’s a struggle for each of them with there always being a third person in the marriage. The recently deceased wife who apparently killed herself is that third person – the one keeping Joshua and Ingrid apart.
Secrets are there also. Secrets and what to do with them as they start coming out.
You’re going to need a few tissues before you finish this book.
