A party-line telephone rings to deliver news of a hard loss.The collection includes the authors Finnish ancestral emigration stories and is an important contribution to Minnesotas womens and immigrant history. In a desperate search for food during devastating famine, a family skied 400 miles along frozen rivers to reach the Arctic Ocean. Other stories tell of emigration from Finnish-speaking communities in Norway to Michigans Upper Peninsula, and attempts to unravel mystery surrounding the death of a great-grandparent in Michigans 1895 Osceola mine fire.
