Reviews

There are books you can nestle into and feel like part of the family. Kristine, Finding Home is one of those. From beginning to end, I was Kristine's little sister, listening to her, admiring her, sticking up for her at each turn of her fascinating life. From Norway to Illinois, Kristine's story captivates. It is a pleasure to read. - Judy Bridges, author of Shut Up & Write! Kristine, Finding Home is a story about resilience and dignity in the face of monumental life challenges. Immigration, the Great Depression, and assimilation compelled Kristine and Fredrik to cherish Norwegian culture while ultimately embracing American citizenship and all that it offered. An entertaining and inspiring read. - Richard Staff, RN, MSW, Norwegian American Musician I have heard stories about Kristine and her journey to the United States since I was a child, and my grandmother told me stories of her aunt who had left Forde to join Fredrik in the U.S. Human migration is not a new thing. This story that started more than 100 years ago in Norway might not be that different from the stories we see on the news every night. - Olaug Marie Reiakvam, MD, Oslo, Norway
