My Father's House: Remembering My Swedish-American Family

In the year 1910, at age twenty, Karl Artur Johan Gustafsson leaves Sweden to follow his older siblings to America. Renamed "Carl Arthur Gustafson" at Ellis Island, he begins a new life in Forestville/Bristol, Connecticut, where he falls in love with and marries Jennie Anderson. Together they build their "house," guiding their family through the rapidly changing events of the twentieth century. In this multi-layered, multiple-generational story, their third child takes her readers on a journey through WWI, the Great Depression, WWII, changing technologies, changing roles, and the tumultuous sixties and seventies.
