Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In 1897, pastor's daughter Inga Linberg joins the ranks of Swedish immigrants traveling to Iowa for a new life. Inga's plans to live at home and care for her parents change suddenly when dairy farmer Dirk Bridger comes to the pastor's house looking for assistance in caring for his two nieces and his ailing mother. Dirk plans to sell the farm eventually so that he can travel the world and chafes at the ties holding him to the farm. As Inga brings light, love, and the Lord to the Bridger family, Dirk fights his growing feelings for her, refusing to add one more tie to hold him down. The sudden, but not unexpected, death of his mother forces Dirk to change his mind. Hatcher continues the shift of her "Coming to America" trilogy from the secular market to the Christian one, offering her RITA Award-winning style to a new audience. Fans of immigrant fiction where the characters face tests of faith in a new country, such as some of Gilbert Morris's "House of Winslow" series and his new title, Jacob's Way (reviewed below), will enjoy this.

From Literary Times
Inga Linberg isn't like her sisters. She isn't pretty or flirtatious, she wouldn't know how to catch a man if she tried. But she has a good heart and she's a hard worker. Inga is happy to help when farmer Dirk Bridger comes to Inga's father looking for someone to watch after his nieces and his ailing mother. What Inga doesn't count on is losing her heart to Dirk- and wondering exactly how a woman goes about attracting a man. There was a time when Dirk had dreams. Dreams of traveling the globe in search of adventure. Dreams that would take him far from the bitter cold and never ending monotony of farm life in Uppsala, Iowa. But then his brother died, leaving him to take care of his two young nieces and a farm. Now his mother is ill and the doctor isn't sure how much longer she will live. Dirk's dreams have dried up and in their place is desperation. Can a tall, willowy Swedish immigrant erase the bitterness in his heart and give him something new to dream about? In Robin Lee Hatcher's Coming to America series, the author draws from her own heritage to tell the stories of three women looking for a new life in America. Inga's story is a heartwarming tale of a girl who has always been a little different. Ms. Hatcher pens a delightful story of how Inga finds love and a family of her own. Look for the third book in the series, In His Arms, which tells the story of Irish immigrant Mary Emeline Malone, on the shelves in September. Robin Lee Hatcher is an outstanding example of romantic fiction at its best! She tells the stories readers love! Time and again, Ms. Hatcher blends history and romance into delicious confections for our pleasure! Robin Lee Hatcher's writing shines in her Coming to America series! A lovely trilogy!
