Child of the Midnight Sun: A Journey with Heart

By Maud Steinberg

Child of the Midnight Sun is a compelling memoir about a young, innocent Swedish girl, and how her choices to marry for love, outside her culture and religion, impacted her life.Maud grew up in a sheltered evangelical household as a young child, while she lived with her grandparents. When she was taken away from her idyllic surroundings in northern Sweden to live with her mother and her new stepdad in Denmark, her life changed drastically. At seventeen as an au pair girl in England, she met a handsome Muslim, a medical student from Uganda, which changed her life forever. The memoir describes her joys, her struggles to fit in, and her grief of losing loved ones. It's an unusual story about a young woman's journey through a life filled with love, trauma, and tragedy, and how she survived one loss after another. It is a story of how deeply grief and trauma can change a person. But, also how a fighting spirit, resilience, and strength, combined with a generous, forgiving heart, sometimes can overcome the most difficult challenges.
