The young newlyweds eventually settle in the rugged hills and pasturelands above the Sandy River in Oregon, where they forge a life of love and pursue their quest for prosperity in spite of the struggle in the wild terrain of the Pacific Northwest in the 1880s. —Sharon Nesbit, writer and historian, author of It Could’ve Been Carpdale.
Interview with Helen F. Wand
What is your favorite part of the book?
My favorite part of the book is Alex and Franz worrying over the birthing of Alex's first child.
Does your book have a lesson? Moral?
I think one of the biggest lessons is loyalty to friends and family.
Are your characters based on real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?
They are all real people based on stories told to me by my grandmother, Tracy and my father who was her first born child.
Of all the characters you have created, which is your favorite and why?
I think Tracy is the dearest and Juliana is the most courageous.
What character in your book are you least likely to get along with?
Marsden
What would the main character in your book have to say about you?
"Why in the world would you want to write about me?"
Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?
I want them to stand alone, but tie into each other.
