Dandelions on the Wind  is the first in a series of three e-book novellas by Mona Hodgson, author of The Sinclair Sisters series.  Dandelions on the Wind  is set in post-Civil war Missouri.  Maren Jensen left her native Denmark to marry but was abandoned by her fiance as she began to lose her eyesight.  After her fiance's abandonment, Maren found refuge with a local widow and her grandaughter.  When the widow's prodigal son-in-law returns home from the war, it seems to be time for Maren to finally leave the farm and earn money for her return home. The war shattered families, but is there a chance for Maren to find a family of her own?This is a nice little novella, but nothing that really makes it stand out.  It made for a couple hours of relaxing reading but there wasn't anything that really drew me into the story.  The story was okay and I liked the quilting circle ladies, but the plot and characters weren't compelling enough to make this a title I'm likely to reread.  It's okay if you want a light read to while away a couple hours, but there wasn't anything that makes it stand out from the rest of the genre.  Three stars.I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a quality review.  All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.  I did not guarantee a positive review.
