SynopsisEighteen-year-old Astrid Bjorklund has always dreamed of becoming a doctor. She had intended to study medicine in Chicago or Grand Forks, but when a disaster wiped out a major portion of her family's income, Astrid stayed home instead, receiving hands-on training from Dr. Elizabeth.Joshua Landsverk left Blessing two years ago, but he's never forgotten Astrid. Returning to town, he seeks to court her. Astrid is attracted to him, and when the opportunity unexpectedly opens for her to go to Chicago for medical training, she finds it difficult to leave. Love blossoms through their letters, but upon arriving back home, she makes a heartbreaking discovery. Will she have to give up love to pursue her dream?, A new turn-of-the-century series set in the Red River Valley. Will she have to give up on love to pursue her dream?
The Home to Blessing Trilogy allows the reader to share the angst, trials, confusion, triumphs and joys of Ingeborg Bjorklund's daughter Astrid as she seeks God's will for her life. There is the choice to go to Chicago for more medical training or to stay in her beloved Blessing and continue to be trained by her sister-in-law, Dr. Elizabeth Bjorklund. Blessing also includes a young man who has recently returned to town and is showing more than a little interest. But, then Astrid begins to wonder if God is calling her to Africa. Dr. Red Hawk, a surgeon she meets from a nearby reservation, questions her thinking and suggests that perhaps the Indians are her Africans. Dr. Elizabeth doesn't want to push (nor does Ingeborg) but a new hospital has long been a dream of all the Bjorklund women. All this and more will keep you reading and in the end will find Astrid where she has always been; in
the palm of His hand.
