GinnieAnnMinneapolis, MNAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Absolutely loved this series!January 4, 2013GinnieAnnMinneapolis, MNAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Being born of Norwegian immigrants myself, I could relate to many of their ways. The foods they made, the way the neighbors all helped each other during harvest time, their traditions, even the family names are all in my genealogy. What a pleasure to read! Lauraine Snelling captured the lifestyle and ways of the Norwegian immigrants perfectly. I look forward to reading all of her books.

Pegg ThomasOssineke, MIAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5EpicAugust 21, 2014Pegg ThomasOssineke, MIAge: 45-54Gender: femaleThis review was written for Untamed Land, An - eBook.I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I'm reading the series on the recommendation - and loan - from a friend. But wow... I didn't expect the grittiness within these pages.
The raw emotions, the struggles, the realities of life with no sugar coating to glaze them over. This is powerful reading. It's the type of book where you want to have the next one in the series sitting next to you when you finish the one you're reading. This isn't a simple "happily ever after" type of story. It more real than that.
I highly recommend this book to people who like historical fiction, well researched and true to its time period. Set in North Dakota in the 1880s, Lauraine Snelling paints a picture of hardship, sacrifice, and triumph over the untamed prairie. But it's not without cost.
Ingeborg Bjorklund immigrates from Norway with her husband, his son, his brother and sister-in-law. They make their way to the plains of North Dakota and find a land that will work as hard to break them as they work to tame the land. -

DavidBeckhamBeverly Hills, FLAge: Over 65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5A bit of history and God's messages.November 22, 2014DavidBeckhamBeverly Hills, FLAge: Over 65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I was a little uncertain as to whether or not I would enjoy this series but decided to give it a try. I appreciate the way the writer includes scripture and life lessons even in the smallest ways but the message is still there and comes through. I would and have recommended this series to others. I also pass the books on once I have read them.
