Read Book

Reading this true life book weaves a Swedish mother’s love for her children, set in the history of Chicago, through her life, struggles, and choices, and those of her family, including her special needs great-great grandchild. The book tells her story and explores the communication she has with her descendants and how love endures. A great read!

Join Christina as she chronicles her way through her immigration to America from Sweden and her subsequent life in a Swedish area of Chicago-land in the late 1880′s and early 1900′s. She continues to tell her family’s story and the choices that were made through her son, her great-granddaughter, and her disabled great-great granddaughter, who is living in the Seattle area and cannot verbalize her own story.
This story shows a family’s love can sustain us through many adversities, and that one person’s choices can have a dramatic effect on many lives.
