Synopsis:
In 1894, 18-year-old Rachel Kahn traveled from Russia to the U.S. for an arranged marriage to Abraham Calof. As North Dakota homesteaders, Rachel and Abraham carved out a life, enduring many hardships. Never sentimental, her memoir is a vital record of their struggle and triumph on the frontier. Features an Epilogue by Rachel's son, Jacob. Photos.
Review:
"A moving memoir of an unusual Jewish immigrant experience: homesteading in North Dakota around the turn of the century....This is a profile in courage, the story of how a [woman] with ingenuity, determination, and faith in God and herself survived - and eventually prospered."
Kirkus, 08/01/1995
