PRAIRIE SONGBy: Mona Hodgson
Published by: Waterbrook Press 2013
Although Prairie Song is the first book in a new series called Hearts Seeking Home, by Mona Hodgson, it picks up where the story left off in the series The Quilted Heart. Prairie Song follows Anna Goben, her mother and her grandfather as they leave their home in Missouri for the promised land of California. Anna hopes the trip and the new home will be the catalyst that will change all their lives. They suffered a terrible trauma during the war (Civil War) in the death of Anna's brother. Now they have an awefull secret -- her mother is an alcoholic -- and her grandfather has given up on life. This is a family who is just living from day to day and not experiencing a life of contentment or joy.
Anna is right. The trip brings about change in her family, if not change as she had hoped. And along with friends who leave Missouri with her family, she finds new friends along the trail. And could she also find love? Will she need to give up being the one in the family everyone leans on? Can she really do that? She has always sacrificed her life for the well being of others. Now she finds that might have been a big mistake.
This book has not yet been released for publication. However, you can pre-order on Amazon.com or with your favorite retailer. As usual, I am looking forward to reading all the books in this series -- when they come out!
