I am drawn to the concept of the Heldin family and your main character, Hilda, as she moves through life and faces different questions and experiences.

Not long after Hildas mother dies, her father, a Mennonite preacher and Minnesota farmer prays for a new wife. Worried that his three children need a mother, he pens a letter to Ukrainian schoolteacher Leah Loewen, a spinster he knows. Before long, they are marriedeven as Hilda and her younger sister still struggle with their grief. Hilda must meet the challenges of her Mennonite faith and life on the prairie, she finds the strength to endure weather catastrophes, world wars, birth, and deathall while maturing into adulthood and discovering her true identity.
