Aven Norgaard is in
love with her husband, Thor, in spite of his deafness knowing that he
is a good man. She was once tempted by his younger brother, Haakon.
After their disastrous encounter, he ran away to sea and has not been
home for four years.
Taking part in a
study of the deaf, Thor and Aven learn that their enemies from the
neighboring farm are back. Now Thor must be on his guard to protect
his family. The surprise is that Haakon arrives home. He’s the
prodigal returning, but can he be accepted back and receive the gift
of forgiveness?
This sequel to Sons
of Blackbird Mountain, is a perfect follow-on to that novel. If you
loved the first book, the second is the equal. The
characters are beautifully drawn. You can’t help loving Aven and
hoping that everything will turn out well for the brothers.
The book is
beautifully written. I loved the descriptions of the country
surrounding Blackbird Mountain. The characters draw you into the
story to the extent that it’s hard to put the book down. The
Christian element exposes the nature of good and evil. It’s a very
fulfilling story to read. I highly recommend it.
I received this book
from Book Look Bloggers for this review.
