I read this series as a young girl and I am now buying them for my sister who is ten years my junior. Books are well written and informative. It's a great way for girls to be introduced to American History!

This book is the coninuation of Lond of Hope. This book is about Kristin and how her family move into a society where they don't speak Englsih (much to Kristin's dissatisfaction) and they speak their native tongue, Swedish. Kristin meets a lot of people, and one of them is a lady, who wasn't married (much to the Swedish wives disapporval) and who fought for women's rights to vote. Kristin meets her and thinks exactly the same thing. Why can't women vote, why can't they take a swim in the lake when they want to cool off, and why can't they wear woman's trousers? All of these questions Kristin wants an answer to, but unfortunatally, her mother and father want to hear nothing about it.

This book is sooooo good. I couldn't put it down. I love how Kristin is so different and how she doesn't let other people out her down and how she does what she wants. I also loved to read about the relationship between her and Jonhus (I forget how you spell it, sorry) grow. Nixon did great on this book. I love it!
