Born in 1921 on a farm near Fort Ransom, North Dakota, Muriel was a quintessential Norwegian-American girl growing up in a place dubbed "Little Norway." Her childhood was one part idyllic, another part marred by the Great Depression, which struck farmers like Muriel's family. Just as Muriel's life began to seem typical of a North Dakota farm girl, she was forced to leave home. Death and tragedy visited her regularly in the ensuing years. Time and again, she challenged the norms of what it meant to be a traditional farm wife in mid-20th century North Dakota.--Publisher.
