My thoughts...The war has just ended and Rutherford Wainwright, also known as Wooly around town, returns to the family farm he left several years prior.  A deciding factor to his leaving was that his wife Gretchen suffered severe complications during the birth of their daughter Gabi and died.  The passing of Wooly's wife weighed very heavy on his heart, he couldn't bear to be around without his lovely wife and the war was a selfish escape for him.Upon his return to his mother-in-law's farm he meets Maren Jensen.  Maren moved to St. Charles from Denmark for a promise of marriage.  When the gent found out that Maren was losing her eyesight, he no longer wanted to keep his commitment.  Maren soon finds work work at the Brantenberg farm helping with chores and caring for little Gabi to pay her way for room and board.Dandelions on the Wind by Mona Hodgson was a sweet, romantic story of two hearts grieving from loss and what it means to find love and hope again.  It was well written and touching.  I occasionally read this genre for a change of pace from the suspense/thriller/mystery genre I normally read.  It made for a nice change.  I would classify Dandelions on the Wind a true "clean read," I would recommend this to anyone who is in the market for this type of book."She knew what it was like to set off for the unknown, albeit on a ship rather than in a covered wagon, and the feeling was no doubt the same -- that of a dandelion on the wind."I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher Waterbrook Multnomah through the program Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review. All opinions stated are my own.
