Leaving Norway for good Clara carries with her little more than dreams. Armed with a water-stained letter, a faded photograph, and a ticket to America, Clara Johnson travels to Soldall, North Dakota, and her handsome, curly haired husband-to-be. Imagine Clara's surprise when she is greeted instead by Dag Weinlander, a burly, unkempt giant of a blacksmith! But God's plans for Clara far surpass her thwarted dreams and naive expectations. Unbeknownst to even a fiercely determined Norwegian immigrant, an angel of new life is about to grace the fertile heartland of America.
