best book ever

when i picked up this book it was only beacause it had my name in it but it ended up being one of my favorite books it is a story of hope and it tought me a lesson that every life may seem bad it may seem like it shoould't be lived but after all the hard times there is always good. Read it it is a great book any age can read it but it is in the veiw of a girl so i would recomend it to girls

Wonderful, moving account of a young girl's immigration

I bought this book for my 13 year old daughter and she absolutely loved it and recommended that I read it. The story is a moving account of the trials and tribulations of a Scandinavian family's emigration to the United States in 1904. The helpless feelings of trying to cope with illness, diminishing funds and the bureaucratic process in a strange environment are captured very well. A real testament to the character of the early immigrants to the United States.
