Patterns of LoveSwedish immigrant Inga Linberg might not be as beautiful as her flirtatious sisters but that doesn't mean she doesn't share their romantic ideas. When Dirk Bridger, a handsome but beleaguered Iowa farmer, approaches her minister father for help in caring for his orphaned nieces and ailing mother, Inga immediately volunteers. Inga goes to live at the Bridger farm and finds that all is in disarray. As Inga falls in love with Dirk's little nieces, she is helplessly drawn to their bitter uncle, too. |
