In 1905 Blessing, North Dakota,
Ingeborg Bjorklund worries about her husband
Haaken (see An Untamed Heart). She would like her daughter Astrid or her
daughter-in-law Elizabeth to check him out.
Elizabeth says her father would not allow a female especially offspring
to give him a physical.
Trygve Knutson considers quitting his traveling construction job
to come home to Blessing to help his family though he takes pleasure in new
experiences that his work provides.
Chicago-based student nurse Miriam Hastings comes to Blessing for on the
job training before she leaves to work at a hospital. Neither Trygve nor Miriam wants to be in
Blessing, but family needs have both in town.
When the nurse- in-training and the driller meet, each feels the
attraction. As they fall in love, both
struggle between pursuing their dreams and revising them.
Meanwhile a failed bank robbery leads to a band
of brother outlaws captured with the youngest Manny suffering a broken
leg. Instead of jail, the tweener moves
in with Ingeborg and Haaken.
Lauraine Snelling returns to her Red River Of the North roots with her first
delightful Song of Blessing historical. The
ensemble cast is solid as they enable the audience to understand life on the
northern Great Plains circa first decade of the twentieth century. Even with an amazing Bjorklund family tree, newcomers
will be lost with the Return to Red River (location of four previous series and
a prequel). On the other hand longtime
fans will celebrate the opening act of Song of Blessing.
