Produktbeschreibung
In this final book of the Graceton trilogy, the homesteaders near early Fargo, North Dakota hang onto their desire to found their own village, even as they struggle with heartbreak, hate, anger, disappointment. Their love for one another keeps them strong and hopeful. Graceton revolves around seven homestead families and several Fargoans, several of which are major characters at different points in the story (including the first two books). The Petersen household suffers from lack of a woman's presence but there may be hope in the future. With Kirk Petersen, the Nesslebaums, who are leading the effort to found Graceton, keep a secret from those outside the community. Hazel Kohler, their devoted teacher, wants to have her own school but is worried about outsiders' acceptance of her son. The Porters, a black family who have no land of their own, are well-loved there but wonder if there's a future for them in Graceton. The homesteaders have close friends in Fargo and others there who realize that families, not just bonanza farm laborers, are needed for the country's growth. There are also some businessmen and Government officials who understand this and, for their own reasons, want to help. Will the village of Graceton finally come about and, if so, where will it be and who would live there?
Autorenporträt
Vee Daniels has had a passion for writing since very young. She has created short stories and memoire chapters for future books and wrote for a popular local newspaper for over fifteen years. Her first novel, e Seeds of Graceton, was inspired by a family project for each to learn about a different state. She chose North Dakota and after receiving a centennial booklet from a small town in that state, she began imagining how such a place came about. Her story became a trilogy: e Seeds of Graceton, e Flowers of Graceton and Graceton. Vee remained in Northern Virginia after leaving the Army and working for private industry before starting her own home service company. She has lived in Nokesville, Virginia for almost 40 years.
