They are a large tribe. Every two years or so this Norwegian American family holds a reunion on one of the family farms located in Hay River Township of Dunn County, 10 miles north of Menomonie, Wisconsin. This family of farmers, laborers, lawyers, school teachers, businessmen, environmental specialists, Lutheran clergymen, professors including a celebrated nuclear physicst, politicians, computer wizards, journalists including one ex-Times man, writers, novelists, musicians, poets, artists, have established themselves as American citizens without ever forgetting their Old Country roots. This novel is centered on one of the frequent family reunions that took place in 1983. The story of that gathering, however, deepens through its fictional elements, and becomes darker, grander, and more passionate. This is that story.
