The Icecutter's Daughter by Tracie Peterson




I really enjoyed this book. Merrill lives with a house full of men. She is dedicated to caring for them since her Mother died when she was a younger girl. Her older brothers have scared away the men. Then Rurik arrives in town and he is not one to be frightened away. Rurik tries to do what God would have him do and act as Jesus would toward others. An old girlfriend of his takes advantage of his willingness to always do right by others and tries to trick him or force him into marrying her. Rurik doesn't fall for the ruse but it does land him in jail. Eventually the truth does win out. It is a very good story - well written and enjoyable to read.
