Hambley's Meadow
When Hambley Williams sold his meadow, he said, "It's like I was givin' up part of myself."

Revenge is Sweet
Estela Bremmer was a young widowed editor for Pederson’s Publication. She has high moral virtues and sees herself as a good girl, having also married a pious and loyal man. This is why Estel has limited her selection of screening books for publishing. She selects only literary works that meet her virtues. Here comes Michael Jensen, a sensualist author who shook her world. The protagonists in all his novels are attractive men who seduce their women with erotic desires. At their meeting, with her prejudice for Michael, Estela makes it her mission to shame him in front of all the guests at his book launch. Michael Jensen plotted his revenge that night, taking the intoxicated, prudish Estela Bremmer to her bed and unleashing his desires on her with a vengeance. The problem is that his vengeance results in an unplanned pregnancy. Little did they know that their love-hate relationship would grow into something more.

Part II, Norway to Minnesota, is "all Norwegian" and finds Mavis' families homesteading in Lac qui Parle County in west central Minnesota, where they reached their final Vesterheim. This book is the third of six about these families, each containing the same core of material to set the stage for individual family presentations.
