Elsa Anders's dream of marrying Peder Ramstad is about to come true. But as this independent, strong-willed woman discovers her own creative gifts--a love for travel, painting, and the sea--can she find happiness with a captain who insists upon leaving her safely on shore?

Leaving their home in Norway behind, Elsa and Peder embark on a voyage to a new life in America with their closest friends, including: Kaatje Jansen, a woman seeking a new beginning for the sake of her marriage and for the child growing within her; Elsa's sister Tora, a sly young vixen who knows exactly what she wants--and exactly how to get it; and Karl Martensen, a man torn between his friendship for Peder and a forbidden, secret love for Elsa that threatens to ruin them all.

From the gentle hills of Bergen, Norway, to the rocky coast of Camden, Maine, and across the crashing, danger-filled waves of the open sea, experience an epic saga of perseverance, passion, faith, and fidelity in the Northern Lights series.

Praise for The Captain's Bride

"Bergren at her very best! What an incredible tale of adventure, from Norway's sparkling fjords to the high seas of Cape Horn, to the rocky shores and plains of America in the 1880s. Even with such a panoramic backdrop, The Captain's Bride keeps its spyglass trained on the lives of people you'll care about deeply, from first page to last, as they wrestle with all the temptations of spirit and flesh we all know too well. Lisa Tawn Bergren's writing talents unfurl in this historical page-turner--I loved it!" --Liz Curtis Higgs, author

"The Captain's Bride is one of those rare pleasures...a terrific tale, told with extraordinary straightforwardness, honesty, and insight. In this, her first historical novel, Lisa Tawn Bergren, a remarkably gifted writer and student of human nature, has created a landscape filled with living, breathing characters. God's compassion and grace illuminate each page." --Diane Noble, author
