Dandelions On The WindByMona HodgsonAbout the BookWith the appeal of popular historical romances and the serial nature of thrilling novels of old, these original e-releases from Mona Hodgson will invite readers into a post-Civil War community on the brink of tremendous change-and three women hoping to find lifelong acceptance and love.Maren Jensen, a rejected mail-order bride from Denmark, works as a domestic on Elsa Brantenberg's farm and helps care for Elsa's granddaughter. Maren's failing eyesight has made having a family of her own seem impossible. When Rutherford "Wooly" Wainwright returns to the farm, now a Civil War veteran, he discovers that Maren has become an important part of his mother-in-law's and daughter's lives. Maren soon realizes there isn't room for both she and Rutherford on the farm and takes a job at a store in town, making it possible for Rutherford to start fresh with his family, but her absence in the home affects them all. In the end, Maren realizes God has been lighting her path all along.Story Locale: St. Charles, MO, 1866I received this in e-book form and I would really love to get it in print. This is a very enjoyable read. I curled up on our porch with my laptop and read until I could not read any more.I immediately fell in love with the characters and the places where they lived.  Also love that God is working in and through their lives, which is so lovingly written in this book throughout! Always a plus in my book...no pun intended.I am a big fan of books written in this time period....It was a hard life but also very simple.I would HIGHLY recommend this book to tweens and ages up.......Mona, I pray the Blessings from God that are written in His Word in the book of Deuteronomy 6:24~26 in Jesus Wonderful Name Amen.About the AuthorMONA HODGSON is the author of Two Brides Too Many, Too Rich for a Bride, and The Bride Wore Blue.
