Deep Harbor



The Northern Lights Series
Book Two

“Lisa Tawn Bergren has a straightforward, evocative style of writing that makes her characters breathe. They walk right across the page and straight into your heart.” –Francine Rivers, author of Redeeming Love

SOME TIES CAN NEVER BE BROKEN

As they build new lives in America, Tora, Elsa, Kaatje, and Karl each experience a personal tragedy that threatens to destroy everything they left Norway to find. Tora’s web of lies has cost her a successful future with the man she loves. When tragedy strikes, Elsa must draw upon her faith and the strength she can muster to discover who she is and the path she must follow. After her husband’s disappearance, Kaatje struggles to raise two young daughters and tend her farm, and Karl finds himself caught in a life of loneliness and emptiness. Only by placing their trust in God—and in each other—will they pass through these rough waters and find the safety of the harbor.

From the richly forested banks of the Washington Territory to the burgeoning city of Yokohama and across the turbulent, danger-filled waves of the open sea—experience the epic saga of perseverance, pain, faith, and calling in the Northern Lights series.

“I found myself immediately involved in the stories of Elsa and Peder, Kaatje and her wayward husband, Soren, Tora and her quest for wealth and power, and a host of other people who sailed with them to America to fulfill their dreams. Lisa Tawn Bergren has a straightforward, evocative style of writing that makes her characters breathe. They walk right across the page and straight into your heart.”
—Francine Rivers, author


“Pick of the month. 4 1⁄2 stars! Lisa Tawn Bergren is a rare talent in historical fiction, writing with exquisite style as she immerses lucky readers in the powerful emotions of her full-bodied characters. Stay tuned for the next book to continue this exciting trilogy.”
—Romantic Times


My Review:

I am soooo thankful to share this book with you all! I have been so encouraged by this book on a few levels ~ One being, Gods timing is perfect! He is with us even when we feel lost, alone and far from HIM. He waits like the loving Father that HE is, for us to seek HIM and HE is ready with Forgiveness when we humble ourselves and repent and have the desire to live life with HIM in all our endeavors.
Deep Harbor is set in the 1800's and is full of adventure for these characters, along with much heartache. You will fall in love with these strong women and men and learn from them as well. Deep Harbor shares examples of redemption, humility, and determination to go on despite some very difficult situations. I simply cannot wait until the 3rd book comes out!!

Thankyou Waterbrookmultnomah for blessing me with a complimentary copy of this book. In return I share this humble opinion.

Loren,

I'm so glad that I went to your profile this morning instead of directly to "Magoo News". I'm such an avid reader, and will enjoy coming here to see what you are reading as well.

If you had to say one or two books, or three... ;-) ....that are your current favorites, what would they be?

Lovingly,
Yolanda
