I thought that the Daughters of Blessing series was going to be just like the other novels about the Bjorklund family, but I was wrong. Lauraine Snelling managed to give Sophie a much different voice than the other members of the family. Sophie wasn't as selfless and duty-bound as the others, and that made for a refreshing change. Of course she mended her ways in the end, but the way Snelling brought that about felt natural rather than abrupt and forced as I have seen in other Christian novels. I am definitely ready to spend more time with the inhabitants of Blessing, ND.
