Based on a true incident, this is the story of a Norwegian mother and daughter who walked from Spokane to New York City in 1896. The plan to earn enough money to pay off the mortgage for the family farm does not go as planned and affects the entire family forever. The details about the culture, times, and famous people they meet are fascinating. This is a book that made me think about the role of women, the history of the feminist movement, the interactions of mothers and daughters, and just stayed with me long after the last chapter.
