    About this audiobook

    Emmalyne Knox and Tavin MacLachlan were destined to be together...until the tragic deaths of Emmalyne's youngest sisters. Family tradition mandates that the youngest daughter should remain single to care for her parents in their old age, and now that daughter is Emmalyne. Her father unyielding, Emmalyne surrenders to her duty, heartbroken. Tavin leaves town, equally devastated. Years later, Emmalyne's family moves, and she and Tavin meet again. Their feelings for each other are as strong as ever, but their painful past and Emmalyne's father still stand between them. Soon both families are in the midst of the growing conflict rising between the workers at the granite quarry that Tavin's father owns and operates. When a series of near-fatal accidents occur, Tavin must figure out who is behind the attacks before someone gets killed. Bound by obligation, yet yearning for a future together, can Emmalyne and Tavin dare to dream that God could heal a decade-long wound and change the hearts of those who would stand in the way of true love?

      Icecutter's Daughter by Tracie Peterson1895 and Merrill is on the farm, birthing a horse. Her main duties are the kitchen since her mother had passed away 10 years ago.Granny and Corabeth pay a visit and give her a hat they modified. They are always trying to make her a pretty looking female as she has no one to turn to for advice.The story also follows Rurik and Svea and they are to be married, it was prearranged by their fathers but as they are older now they tend to think they need to wait. He will leave to help his Uncle Carl in MN and give them some time away from one another.Love learning about the furniture making career and all about the ice harvest.Rurik gets invited to help with the ice harvest as Carl is too old to help much and he stays for dinner while helping Merrills father after his fall. They meet at church and again they have dinner with the family.Rurik has ideas of painting the furniture that Murrill has painted in her house as a sideline for Carl's furniture...Some German and Swedish is spoken but not a lot that you get lost.Carl gives him a proposal of what to do with his furniture business and it may solve all of Rurik's problems...Rurik gets a surprise visit ... things are totally misunderstood.Loved learning about the sewing techniques back then and how such simple things was a way of life.One of the settlements I do knitting for actually demonstrates how to cut the ice, so unique!Faith, believing in God and reciting prayers are relevant in this book. Out of the 115+ books I've read this year this is my favorite.An excerpt for another book is included at the back.The settlement that I knit for will have a 'fire and ice' demo where they do ice harvesting in a few weeks time. Hope to go.

      This book had me at Minnesota. I am homesick for the state that I was born and raised in so I was more than happy to settle into a book that had familiar surroundings for me, even if they were in the end of the 1800's. While those who know me know that I am not a huge Christian Fiction reader I do enjoy some stories and authors and Tracie Peterson is one of them, she really did draw me into The Icecutter's daughter from the get go.

      Merrill Krause is the only daughter in a family where her Mother passed and she is tasked with taking care of her Father and Brothers. She is more comfortable out in the barn with the horses then doing her hair or picking out fabric for dresses. In short for me Merrill is a Lady who is just like me in many senses so of course I like her right off. I in fact like the whole of the Krause family and everything about them a good strong German Minnesotan family.

      Rurik is a tall Swede from Kansas who comes to Minnesota to help his Uncle due to failing health. He is also a loveable character, honorable, strong and a gentleman. It is no surprise when he sets his eyes to Merrill and she to him. I won't ruin the story by giving away many of the trials that the pair must face, but there are many and they are well written. Everything in this book flows along nicely and lends itself to be a fast and heart warming read.
    • 5/5
      Once again Tracie's love for detail, history and romance comes shining through in The Icecutter's Daughter. My Mother tells of my grandfather cutting ice for their personal summer stock, and I loved to read more of how it had been done. (No gory stories of limbs caught under heavy blocks of ice in the small spaces of the ice house as was grandfather's experience). I rooted for Rorik of Kansas as he tried to do the right thing, and also as he faced accusations of his friends. I fell in love with Merrill, a strong farm girl (I am also a farm girl through and through)and was proud how Tracie used Merrill's dedication to family and work instead of being overly concerned about her looks, even in the face of Granny's persistence that she should make a life for herself. Having friends who live in Minnesota, I know that the cold that blows off of the lakes is not exaggerated in the novel. I love to read about the Swedes and Norwegians in America, and found that this followed closely with other novels I have read as to history. This is definitely a book I recommend, and know I will be looking for the next one in the series of The Land of Shining Waters. This is the first book, but I am sure that each book will stand on it's own.
