ABOUT THE BOOK
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 her 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 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.

My Comments:
Dawn's Prelude is the perfect title for this page turner by Tracie Peterson. It is the first book in the Song of Alaska series and I was so moved by the story, characters, and adventure that I would love to hop on a cruise ship with my adventurous husband and head for Sitka, Alaska, where the majority of the story takes place. Ms.Peterson seamlessly composes (couldn't resist a musical reference)storylines with characters that you care about and inspires dreams of new beginnings and hope for seemingly hopeless situations. All the while I was terrified for Lydia, the heroine's safety, as mean,greedy stepbrothers plotted against her.
This book leaves you satisfied but happy that there is more to come...
