About the Book
After her fiancé returns from the
Klondike gold rush in 1897, Florence Harms sets about building a new
life in her new marriage—even though the lingering effects of illness
have left her weak and vulnerable. She and her young husband, Will, work
tirelessly to clear the land around their Northwest cabin, content with
their modest life.
But then a stranger comes knocking and Florence suddenly senses a
restlessness in Will’s spirit that she had never seen before. When he
leaves her with only a note that tells her he will return before their
baby’s birth, she is devastated, and the illness that stiffened her
joints returns. Counting the days until Will walks back through her
door, Florence busies herself with a Tree of Life quilt displaying a map
of the farm they call home. Doubts claw at her heart as Florence
struggles to believe Will’s promise to return to her. Will her labor of
love—and faith in God—sustain her as she waits to see her beloved once
again?
My Review
I really like the cover on this
book, I admit it sucked me in. I liked the first few chapters of the
book and then the story got really slow for me. I enjoyed reading about
the pioneer lifestyle and making a new home. I enjoyed Florence and how
she deals with Will leaving her a note saying he left. Near the end of
the book it was hard for me to believe what was happening but it's a
sweet story. The overall story is good it was a just a slow read for me.
I loved the details about the quilt!
