Surviving the Great Depression and doggedly striving for prosperity in both city and country is recounted here in this moving tale of Danish immigrant ancestors and successful descendants of Minnesota pioneers who jumped blindfolded into an uncertain future. This human legacy is bequeathed to readers of this most enjoyable story told by the reminiscences of a precocious child turned successful professor of education. --Patricia Lucas, author of Congo Mission and the Desperada trilogy, Green Valley, AZ
