Ida's Trunk: A Dakota Farmgirl Goes West - Paperback

by Patricia M. Cresalia (Author)

Is the gamble worth the price they must pay?

Ida's Trunk, set at the end of the Victorian era, is a heart-tugging love story of a young couple of faith with ordinary ambitions. The daughter of an early Norwegian settler, Ida, has been thoroughly trained and is willing to do the hard work expected of a woman living on a farming homestead. It is all she knows.

After much argument, Ernest and Ida's parents decide that moving away from the harsh Dakota climate is the best course of action for Ida's health and their little family's future. This agonizing decision means Ida will leave behind their precious infant daughter.

In their travels, Ida will face the public attitudes and social mores of the times. She will also experience emotional and physical challenges that will test her faith. Will the couple find what they are looking for in the busy and vibrant city of Los Angeles, California?
