Autorenporträt
Helen Wand was raised in the rugged hills of Oregon's Columbia River Gorge. A child of a large Catholic family, she has fearlessly trespassed into the lives of her immigrant ancestors who first settled at the west end of the Gorge. Her writing places the reader by their side as they raise and feed a large brood of children, build a farm, and ultimately, a community. Those who see the neat farms and green fields of Multnomah County, east of the Sandy River, will get a sense of how they began and the challenges they faced along the way.
