Andrew is very pointedly asked by his father, Haakan, to push the wedding date back two months, with the only reason given as “it’s probably just best to wait.” Anxious to wed, he butts against the idea and is shocked to find that Ellie is willing to go along with it. Words are spoken without thought, feelings are hurt, and thus begins two months of disturbing miscommunication, and resentment. Frustration mounts as building their new home keeps them from seeing each other more than a short time each week, and the attention of another young man toward Ellie kindles jealously in her fiancé that spirals out of control. When a fire blazes on their land, which they have yet to inhabit, Ellie makes a poor choice and risks everything. Maybe Haakan was right. Maybe they’re not ready after all… The sweet story of a family’s love, a young woman’s desire to please the Lord, and her fiancé’s journey toward Christ, A Promise for Ellie is inspiring and refreshing. Snelling’s ability to create compelling dialogue holds the reader’s attention, as do the bits of unique Scandinavian culture harmoniously spliced into this poignant tale. Ideal for an evening in front of a roaring fire, A Promise for Ellie will take you back one hundred years to the rugged life of the northern plains, and leave you clamoring for more.
