About this book
The novel is set in the late nineteenth century. A Swedish family arrives in Nebraska. They buy acres of unbroken sod. The task of breaking the soil falls to them. The eldest daughter directs the planting and the building. She watches the fields through seasons of rain and dry wind. Her family grows around the work. The rhythms of farm life shape every choice. Distance from town limits what they can do. Letters from the old country arrive now and then. The land changes slowly under their hands. The book records these ordinary acts of settlement.
