Publisher's Summary

It is 1893, and the first generation of immigrants who came to America for the promise of free land and a good life for their children have finally achieved their dreams. They labored hard on the land and now have a bountiful heritage to pass on to the next generation. However, many of the young people aren't interested in becoming farmers - they have aspirations of their own.

Thorliff Bjorklund has been writing stories and plays since he was a young boy and longs to attend college to study journalism. But his father has other plans for him and refuses to agree.

Thorliff is torn between love for his father and the pull of his dream. Must he choose between the two?

Great story, but terribly read

The book was pretty good but the reader made it sound like a children’s story.

Horrible narration

I have listened to the entire Red River series and absolutely loved them all. This was another excellent book! I had to force myself to listen to this one because I didn't want to miss anything, but the imitation of the accents and the tone of voice is awful. Such a shame it was ruined. Even some of the English words were not read correctly.
