  Daughters Of Northern Shores

  $15.99

  From Christy Award- winning author Joanne Bischof comes the sequel to her beautiful novel Sons of Blackbird Mountain.

  Aven Norgaard understands courage. Orphaned within an Irish workhouse, then widowed at just nineteen, she voyaged to America where she was wooed and wed by Thor Norgaard, a Deaf man in rural Appalachia. That the Lord saw her along the winding journey and that Aven now carries Thor’s child are blessings beyond measure. Yet while Thor holds her heart, it is his younger brother and rival who haunts her memories. Haakon–whose selfish choices shattered her trust in him.

  Having fled the Norgaard orchard after trying to take Aven as his own, Haakon sails on the North Atlantic ice trade, where his soul is plagued with regrets that distance cannot heal. Not even the beautiful Norwegian woman he’s pursued can ease the torment. When the winds bear him home after four years away, Haakon finds the family on the brink of tragedy. A decades-old feud with the neighboring farm has wrenched them into the fiercest confrontation on Blackbird Mountain since the Civil War. Haakon’s cunning and strength hold the power to seal many fates, including Thor’s–which is already imperiled due to a grave illness brought to him at the first prick of warfare.

  Now Haakon faces the hardest choice of his life. One that shapes a battlefield where pride must be broken enough to be restored, and where a prodigal son may finally know the healing peace of surrender and the boundless gift of forgiveness. And when it comes to the woman he left behind in Norway, he just might discover that while his heart belongs to a daughter of the north, she’s been awaiting him on shores more distant than the land he’s fighting for.

  Be Still My Soul

  $17.00

  In the historical romance tradition of Christian fiction pioneer Janette Oke, debut author Joanne Bischof weaves an enthralling story of a good-hearted Appalachian woman-and her unexpected journey toward love with the man she is forced to marry.

  Lonnie Sawyer is pretty, sweet, and innocent-making her the ideal target for arrogant Gideon O’Riley, a talented bluegrass musician who cares only about satisfying his own desires. When Lonnie’s alcoholic father discovers Gideon stealing a kiss from Lonnie, she is forced to marry him, but the harsh realities of life soon turn his affection to anger. When an elderly couple intervenes, taking the O’Rileys under their wing, Gideon learns what true love is. He surrenders his will to God and endeavors to be a husband worthy of his tender bride, and finally begins to win his wife’s heart. Yet just as the pieces of their lives fall into place, an unfortunate turn of events lands Gideon on the wrong side of justice and at risk of losing Lonnie all over again.
