Elsie began her life in Karelia and dreamed of an education. War began in Europe; then the Russians invaded Finland. Young Elsie and her family faced hard work and privation. After the war, she met Saul, and they married. Her suspicious, jealous husband kept uprooting their home and lives. The couple left Finland for Australia in hopes of a new start and from there they came to the U.S. Saul suffered increasing mental illness, threatening Elsie’s life and family before she summoned all her reserves to deal with him. Survival again would take all her strength.
