My 14 year old is reading Dawn's Prelude by Tracie Peterson right now.
Book Summery: Dawn's Prelude by Tracie Peterson Book 1 in the all new Song of Alaska series
Newly widowed Lydia Sellers discovers that through an unforeseen fluke, she is the sole recipient of her husband's fortune. But instead of granting her security, it only causes strife as her adult stepchildren battle to regain the inheritance for themselves. Lydia, longing to put the memories of a painful marriage behind her, determines to travel to Alaska to join her aunt.
Lydia's arrival in Sitka, however, brings two things she didn't expect. One is the acquaintance of Kjell Bjorklund, the handsome owner of the sawmill. Second is the discovery that she is pregnant with her dead husband's child. What will this mean for her budding relationship with Kjell? And to what lengths will her stepchildren go to reclaim their father's fortune? Lydia soon finds her life--and that of her child's--on the line.
"Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become." -C.S. Lewis

Sounds interesting-- my oldest is only 9, so no books as complex as this yet on his radar. :)
Thanks for linking up with us!
I've never heard of this book before so I appreciated the blurb. Thanks for the peak at it!
This book will go on CFBA book tour tomorrow. I'll have it posted.
I remember reading my grandmother's Janette Oke books when I was around that age.
