Sophie's Dilemma (#02 in Daughters Of Blessing Series)

I love how it is possible to dip into any book from the 'Blessing's' series, without having to have read them in chronological order. I did not think I would enjoy this one, as Sophie has always seemed so annoyingly bossy and spoilt when she appears in other novels in the series. But I found myself empathizing with her and cheering her on as the plot progressed. Another great read from Lorraine Snelling!

This is the second book in the """"Daughters of Blessing"""" series, and once again I was impacted by the simplicity of the life described. The residents of Blessing, North Dakota in 1901 certainly worked hard, but they worked side by side with family and neighbours, sharing the load, encouraging one another. Sophie breaks away from all this and comes to truly appreciate the support of family when she faces tragedy alone. We are made to feel part of the family, to share their joys and hardships. I found it very relaxing and refreshing to read of life and faith in the 'good old days. '
