Life in Sweden becomes unbearable and unsafe for Elin Carlson after the deaths of her parents. So she determines to find a safe haven for her sisters, Kirsten and Sofia, and herself. So begins a journey to America for these three Swedish young ladies. Here they believe they will be given a second chance. But the journey to America is hard and all 3 sisters struggle with secrets they aren't sharing with each other. Hardship becomes their constant companion as they arrive in America, and Elin, Kirsten, and Sofia question their decision to immigrate to Chicago. Will their hopes for the future ever be realized? I liked how the author showed three very different young ladies who loved each other and stood by each other. The struggles seemed very real, but the blessings for each of them at the end were very precious. It was a hard story to read at first, but the love and courage of these 3 sisters kept me going and realizing the hardships the people faced who were coming to America made me appreciate my ancestors all that much more. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
