The story begins with her bright, sunny childhood in beautiful Norway. From there she became a working girl in Oslo. She immigrated to America as a single woman of 29, and took a pioneer's life, living in a one-room shack on the prairie. This is a wonderful story of a life lived to its fullest. From sunshine and green grass, parties and marriage, to heartbreak and loss. This book really is a jem. It is 142 pages, in decently large type, with many black and white pictures. It is an easy, exciting read and I reccomend it to anybody. This book is a MUST for anyone of Norwegian or Scandinavian heritage. Read "Anna: Norse roots in homestead soil", you will enjoy it.
