Beskrivelse
Norway, 1876. Sixteen-year-old Elle Hansen feels her life has ended.
Elle is aghast when her parents betroth her to a stranger. Not only is this old man twenty years her senior, he plan to take her from her family. When she learns they will homestead in the Dakota Territory, all joy crumbles from the traumatized girl's young heart.
Leaving the fjords for the prairie, Elle experiences new fears and wonders every day. Her determination to accept adult responsibility spurs her to keep trying to shoulder her new life.
Can she make the best of her circumstances to find happiness and contentment on the dusty prairie of the New World?
