Product Description
This story is based on real facts, and written out of admiration for the author’s own parents. It begins with a six-year-old girl in a small town in Minnesota. She was born in Norway, in 1889. She emigrated to the United States at the age of one year, with her parents and siblings. The town doctor and his wife had no children, but took the little girl along on his rounds to the country, (with horse and buggy). She went along with this small town doctor on his country visits, whenever he asked her to come along. Later she actually worked for him, until she married. She put to use all she had learned from him. She was not only a midwife, but did many other health care deeds, also. Not only for her family, but for many others along her path of life. When she married, she and her husband moved to a small town in Eastern North Dakota where they owned and operated a Caf©. Later they moved to their homestead, on the prairies of Western North Dakota. All in all, these were hard times, and life could be tough. There was an abundance of sadness, but happiness usually prevailed. A beautiful and inspiring pioneer story...
