This is book three of Tracie Peteron’s Song of Alaska series. I read and loved the first one, Dawn’s Prelude, but missed book two! None of the characters actually play music during the events this book covers, but the heroine is a first chair violinist.
Britta seems a bit complicated to me, but I could easily see her as a real person. I love the whole Lindquist extended family. Her mother was the heroine of Dawn’s Prelude. This book covers a lot of tough topics including the San Francisco earthquake, drunkeness, forgiveness, miscarriage, and infant death. The family’s Christian faith and trust in God is woven throughout their daily lives.
Here is the backcover copy:
Britta Lindquist left Sitka six years ago in an attempt to distance herself from the love of her life, Yuri Belikov. Upon her return, she finds Yuri absent and his wife about to deliver a child. When tragic circumstances ensue, Britta suddenly finds herself caring for Yuri’s children–and her life intertwining with the man she’s tried so hard to forget.
But Britta’s other great love is for the violin, and her talent is recognized by Brenton Maltese, a conductor from England. He proposes she accept the coveted first chair position in his orchestra…and also his hand in marriage. At a crossroads, Britta must determine what her heart truly longs for–and if she’s willing to fight for it.
At a crossroads, Britta must determine what her heart truly longs for?and if she’s willing to fight for it.
