My great-great-grandparents left Finland in the 1890s, when it was under Russian rule. They came to the United States (to Gloucester specifically) seeking a better life. My great-great-grandmother Josephine lived to see Finland achieve its independence on December 6, 1917.

Danuta and I have been part of the same writers group for years. It was lovely to hear her read from her new short story collection at an intimate gathering in her home today. I feel grateful to call her a friend. Check out her new collection on Amazon.
