Daughters of Northern Shores by Joanne Bischof

Not even the beautiful Norwegian woman he's pursued can ease the torment. Having fled the Norgaard orchard after a terrible mistake, Haakon sails on the North Atlantic ice trade, where his soul is plagued with regrets that distance cannot heal. Haakon-whose selfish choices shattered her trust in him. Yet while Thor holds her heart, it is his younger brother and rival who haunts her memories. That the Lord saw her along the winding journey and that Aven now carries Thor's child are blessings beyond measure. Orphaned within an Irish workhouse, then widowed at just nineteen, she voyaged to America where she was wooed and wed by Thor Norgaard, a Deaf man in rural Appalachia. In this stunning sequel to The Sons of Blackbird Mountain, Aven and Thor's love story continues-and an age-old feud endangers the Norgaard family in ways no one could have ever imagined.Īven Norgaard understands courage.
