Changes for Kirsten: A Winter StoryKirsten Larson is a pioneer girl of strength and spirit growing up on the Minnesota prairie in 1854. Kirsten's stories begin with her long, dangerous voyage with her family from Sweden to America. At first, Kirsten finds it difficult to get used to this strange new country. But as she makes friends and discovers what her new land has to offer, she learns the true meaning of home -- and that love is the same in any language. After the Larsons' home is destroyed by fire, Kirsten and her brother make a discovery that means brighter days for the family. |
