  • More about A Time to Bloom


Delphinium Nielsen and her sisters have accomplished much in the past year, but they are quickly running out of money. Del's work teaching in their booming town offers hope, but not all of the town sees it that way. When their brother Anders arrives with his war-wounded and heartbroken friend RJ, Anders decides to invest in a boardinghouse, which Del finds barely polite. Despite Del and her sisters' best-laid plans, the future and RJ might surprise them all. Snelling's research pays off in her vivid evocation of frontier-era Nebraska.

Delphinium Nielsen and her sisters have achieved remarkable feats in the past year, journeying west and establishing themselves in Nebraska. Their mission is to build a garden in honor of their mother and overcome the challenges posed by nature to sustain their farm. Despite their accomplishments, they are deeply concerned about their financial situation. Del's job as a teacher in their thriving town provides a glimmer of hope, not only by supporting her sisters financially but also by improving the lives of her students. However, not everyone in the town shares the same vision, with the reconstruction of the schoolhouse consistently neglected and the father of one of Del's brightest students demanding that he work on the farm instead of attending class. When their brother Anders arrives with his war-wounded and emotionally shattered friend RJ, Anders is impressed by the sisters' idea to start a boardinghouse and decides to invest in it. Del initially finds RJ distant and unimpressive, with little desire to engage with him. Nevertheless, against all odds, the future holds unexpected surprises. Snelling's meticulous research brings forth a vivid portrayal of frontier-era Nebraska, creating a captivating historical narrative that is sure to captivate readers. The result is a truly immersive and worthwhile journey into the past.
