Nilda Carlson has been trying to save enough money to go
to America for months, so when a letter from Einar and
Gerd Strand arrives, offering to pay her ticket, she
jumps at the chance. Her younger brother Ivar accompanies
her, and they can't wait to join their brother Rune and
his family in the northern forests of Minnesota.
Signe and Rune Carlson are thrilled to welcome Nilda and
Ivar to America, but life on the farm remains a struggle.
Though Gerd has softened and grown to love the Carlson
family, Einar is still harsh and unforgiving, obsessed
solely with felling as many trees as possible. Rune is
trying to build a new home for his wife and children, but
Einar refuses to help and forbids anyone from the nearby
community from stepping foot on his land. What dark
secret must lie in his past to have caused him to isolate
himself--and anyone living under his roof--in this way?
When a tragedy lays the truth bare, the Carlsons and
Strands will have to come together like never before and
become a true family.
