Book Review

The Epoch Times

“Douglas Hoff’s series about Norwegian immigrants in the early 20th century is timeless in its appeal. These coming-of-age, true stories in novel form, while perfect for young adults, are books that older adults can also enjoy immensely. I certainly did.”

“Hoff does a wonderful job portraying a bleak existence with the isolation, extreme weather conditions, and constant physical labor. The prairie has unique challenges, which Hoff presents in descriptive language.”
