Summary

In Minnesota in 1911, Nilda Carlson is torn between society life in the city of Blackduck and spending time with her family back home on the farm. Her employer, Mrs. Schoenleber, gives her more and more responsibility and experience, including recommending new opportunities for her philanthropy. Still new to America herself, Nilda focuses on the area's immigrant community, but she'll have to fight to get her ideas accepted by the locals and donors alike.

In the meantime, one of her greatest joys is her weekly piano lesson with the handsome schoolteacher, Fritz. But just as Nilda is beginning to realize she has feelings for him, a stylish, affluent young woman moves to Blackduck and monopolizes Fritz's attention. With her humble background, how can Nilda hope to compete with such a sophisticated beauty?

Enjoyed

I really enjoyed this last book of the series. Again, this concentrates more on Nilda's life away from the family farm. She is forging a new path and learning lots of new skills. The other family members do still make appearances in this book too though.
Nilda I like the fact that Nilda concentrates her efforts on the area's immigrant community. It's great to see that she really enjoys her piano lessons, but also the schoolteacher Fritz. I love their banter. So sad to finish this series though. I have enjoyed the faith element coming through these books too. I borrowed this on Audible.
