More about the book

Set in the 1870s, the narrative follows two immigrant teenagers, Halvor Dahl and Emelia Meier, from contrasting backgrounds in Minnesota. Halvor hails from a struggling Norwegian Lutheran farming family in the Cannon River valley, while Emelia's German Catholic family thrives as merchants in St. Paul. Their stories intertwine, exploring themes of cultural identity, resilience, and the immigrant experience during a transformative period in American history.
