I'm grew up reading Little House on the Prairie and watching the television series. I'm very active in researching my own family history and watch for details that bring meaning and understanding of their lives.This prequel is a wonderful story...a demonstration of Godly Jan in his determination to follow guidance in his life and dealing with others. Though characters are fictional, the situations are typical of those years and the challenges of homesteading,I highly recommend Land of Dust & Tears.Brothers Jan (Yahn) and Karl Thoresen have left their native land of Norway and braved many perils and hardships to bring their families to America—the land of freedom and hope. Like thousands of others, Jan and his wife Elli long for the opportunity of a better life and a future for their children.After enduring an ocean crossing and the arduous journey west, they encounter a land so vast and wide that it defies mastery. Jan finds that his struggles are not only with the land, but with a restless and unmanageable heart. Will Jan find a way to overcome this wild land or will the prairie master him?Land of Dust & Tears is also published as Part 1 of Wild Heart on the Prairie, Book 2 of the series, A Prairie Heritage. Land of Dust & Tears is priced to introduce you to this beautiful saga.The author suggests that you follow your read of Land of Dust & Tears with A Rose Blooms Twice, Book 1 of A Prairie Heritage, and then read Wild Heart on the Prairie, which includes Land of Dust & Tears (Part 1) and concludes the story in Part 2.A Prairie Heritage:Prequel: Land of Dust & TearsBook 1: A Rose Blooms Twice
