Hubalek continues the story of a Swedish immigrant family in Prarieblomman, Kansas, in the second book in the Butter in the Well series. The series is based on the diary of Alma Swenson, as she grows up on the prairie that her parents homesteaded.
Sititch of Courage, the third book in the Trail of Thread series, tells the story of the orphaned Maggie Kennedy, who followed her brothers to Kansas in the late 1850s. In letters to her sister in Ohio, Maggie describes how the women of Kansas faced the demons of the Civil War, fighting bravely to protect their homes and families while never knowing from one day to the next whether their men were alive or dead on the faraway battlefield. Twelves quilt patterns are stitched into this story.
The inevitable happens- time moves on and we grow older. Instead of our own little children surrounding us, grandchildren take their place. Each new generation lives in a new age of technology, not realizing the changes the generations before theirs has seen- and improved for them.The cycle of life has changed the prairie also. The endless waves of tall native prairie grass have been reduced to uniform rows of grain crops. The curves of the river had shifted over the decades, eroded by both man and nature. The majestic prairie has been tamed over time.In this fourth book of the Butter in the well series, Kajsa Svensson Runeberg, now age 75, looks back at the changes she has experiences on the farm she homesteaded 51 years ago. She reminisces about the past, resolves the present situation, and looks toward their future off the farm.
