"The Captain's Bride" is a wonderful story about a newly wed couple, their friends and family members who journey from Norway to America in search of a new life. This historical tale provides true to life characters struggle with and acting acknowledging challenges each of us face today, such as bothersome siblings, marital disagreements, sexual temptations, financial dilemmas, and solitude. This story is an unbelievable tale of adventure,from Norway to the high seas, to the rocky shores and plains of America in the 1880s.
Mrs. Bergren uses different quotes from the bible through out the book such as "Psalms 130, Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities,O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee.... I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
Lisa T. Bergren writes a brilliant page turner that is sure to delight many readers over and over again.... I loved it! I'm also looking forward to reading the rest of the Northern Lights series.
“I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review”.
