"Lauri Anderson's latest collection of poignant stories is a wonderfully rewarding read. These stories are not only dedicated to the Copper Country, but truly celebrate the Finnish character that has played such an important part in creating a Copper Country heritage. Here are our heroes, survivors against all the odds, in this remote land, true to themselves acting with an unconscious humility. These often bittersweet stories are set in historic contexts that make them utterly convincing. There are many literary allusions, and even characters such as Vainamoinen and Hemingway play a part. The clean rhythm of the language mimics the Finnish language and underlines the basic humanity and individuality of these Copper Country Finns."

Reading this book will require some time because of the transcription and content. Carl Rogers made significant changes after his contact with Martin Buber. If you have only listened to the tapes or read previous transcriptions and you need to read this book. I think reading this book provided some insight regarding both men. I have been interested in Buber's philosophy and Hassidic Judaism, and this book has been helpful. I highly recommend this book for the serious reader or student, but take the time to let the words sink in.

Like Susanna, I am also a devoted teenage artist. The problems she experiences in the story are very different from everyday life, considering her so-called "crazy" uncle has been in his room for at least 20 years. I really enjoyed this book and the author did an excellent job portraying what Susanna was going through. Although your problems may be nowhere close to what Susanna is experiencing, it shows you what you need to do to find your true self and inspiration in life. When reading the book it seemed as though it was glued to my hands because I couldn't bring myself to put it aside. This book would be wonderful for any teen who is faced with difficult challenges. Especially those problems that seem unbearable; but after reading this book, you will realize that your issues can be solved.

This story is a lighthearted tale of a girl named Kate and her mom at the end of a long day. The illustrations and the dialogue have long been remembered by my teenage daughters who still love to say "mother makes a mistake"...I have ordered many copies for my nieces...so that they may also treasure this magnificent bedtime story!

It was a fun, exciting short storybook. We laugh and talked about interesting parts of his life and what he went through to get here. We were studying immigration at the time of our reading. Very good book. I encourage you to read it!!

This is an excellent book. I saw the movie, and it is great! But the book is even better. This book will have you on the edge of your seat. There is always things happening. If you like to solve mysteries this is the right book for you.

This book gives background information for many of the songs that Laura quotes in her books. Music was an important part of Laura's family life, and if you always wondered what those tunes sounded like, this book and cassette are for you!

Unique, heart-warming, off-beat and full of fresh, unusual observations from a child's eye view. A special way of introducing a child to Jesus. My daughter loves it more than any other book. Very sad it's gone out of print, only wish they would reprint it as I want one for my goddaughter and indeed for other children.
