1902 - Blessing, North Dakota 

Grace Knutson loved everything about her town of Blessing.  She had her life figured out.  She knew exactly what she wanted to do, that is until she met Jonathan Gould. 

Jonathan has come to the Knutson farm by his father’s hand.  Jonathan born and raised in the city has no idea what farm life is like and is not happy with his father.  His father wants him to learn the value of hard, manual labor.  He surprises himself and everyone else by realizing he actually likes working from sunup to sundown.  It does not hurt to have Grace show him the ropes along the way. 

Grace and Jonathan get along rather well, considering Grace is deaf.  She has learned to adapt to her surroundings in unusual ways.  Grace decides to go back to the city with Jonathan and see what city life is like.  Jonathan’s mother doe not think Grace is right for him and makes it crystal clear to Grace.  Despite this Grace does not let this get her down.  Could he be the one, or is his affection being clouded by Grace’s broken heart? 

The third book in the Daughters of Blessing is a wonderful read.  It’s filled with young love, hope, and dreams.  It was wonderful to read how Grace could adapt herself in any situation in spite of her being deaf.
