Are you a morning person or a night person? I am more of a night person. Although now that I’m older, I’m definitely
not staying up as long.
Einar and Maya Bredesen plan to immigrate to the
United States from Norway. Einar goes on
one last fishing trip before they leave and is lost at sea. Maya travels on to America with her brother
to stay with her cousin Amalia in Green Creek, Iowa in 1890. Amalia runs a boardinghouse and has recently
married. Will Maya be able to find a new
life and potentially love in America?
My thoughts on this novel:
· Maya had a hard time adapting to America. She doesn’t speak much English and feels like a fish out of water. It was a good reminder of what most Americans (besides indigenous) ancestor’s felt when they first arrived.
· This is the second book in the Home to Green Creek series. I read this as a standalone, but I wish I would have read the first book, so I had more of Maya’s background and story. It took me a bit to get used to characters.
· This novel had great characters. I really liked Amalia who is always trying to help everyone and Maya who goes through so much.
· This was a clean read and a Christian read. There are references to their Lutheran faith throughout.
· This was a second chance romance novel.
· The new love interest for Maya, Eber, starts as a friend and enters about halfway through the story. Therefore, this is also a friends to lovers’ story.
· There are good book club discussion questions included at the end of the book.
Overall, At Morning’s Light by Lauraine Snelling was a
beautiful story of second chances and friendship.
