Dakota County Library, paperback, 447 pages
genre: Christian historical fiction
I was surprised by how much I liked this book (especially compared to book one). Elizabeth and her mother-in-law Marjory show up in 1746 Selkirk almost completely destitute. Cousin Anne allows them to stay in her tiny home and life moves on. This story parallels the book of Ruth very closely and has a satisfying romance in Elizabeth and Jack (as well as Marjory and Gibson and Anne and Michael). I think that the cat and the little boy were my favorites, though. We had a very nice book club discussion on Monday. I also got to see the Trewarthas and Keith Johnson's family!
