Written by Lisa Tawn Bergren

Narrated by Stephanie Brush

They traveled to America in search of freedom and prosperity....

Elsa Anders’ dream of marrying Peder Ramstad is about to come true. Can this strong-willed, creative woman with a love for independence, adventure, and the sea find happiness with a captain who insists upon leaving her safely on shore?

Peder Ramstad is driven by a love for the sea, and for his wife. He is determined to make a success of his new shipyard. Yet his desperate need to control his house and fate may destroy that which he treasures the most.

Kaatje Janssen is broken hearted over her husband’s infidelity. As Elsa’s friend she prays that a journey to America will mark a new beginning, and a bright future for her marriage, and her unborn child.

Tora Anders, Elsa’s 16-year old sly younger sister, knows just what she wants, and exactly how to get it. Heaven help the man or woman who stands in her way.

From the towering mountain coasts of Norway, to the rocky coast of Maine, and across the turbulent, danger filled waves of the open sea - This is an epic saga of perseverance, passion, faith and fidelity.

Reviews for The Captain's Bride

[Sue Farris · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The story is well written and, for the most part, well read; however, three times, the story jumped to another book...and each time, context was lost. The interesting thing was that each of the jumps were of different books and readers...bizarre! Hope someone reads this review and fixes the problem!

Great start to a trilogy. I am excited to listen to the rest.

Very disappointed that the audio from 3 chapters were somehow replaced by chapters from another book with a different narrator.

Really enjoyed the book, but a few chapters were missing and mixed in with another book. It was a interesting book overall

This book is so good! I just couldn't put it down, and the same goes for the next two books in the series, Midnight Sun and Deep Harbor. I just got so wrapped up in the characters and their lives that I couldn't wait to see where they were going and what they were going through next.
