The Price of Passage
The Price of Passage
Anders, a schoolmaster's son with the law on his heels, sails from Norway yearning for dignity and purpose in America. Maria, a boat builder's repressed daughter, joins Anders to face the dangers of the New World.
Daniel, an orphaned slave, starts a desperate run to be free of brutal plantation life.
From New Orleans, up the Mississippi River, into America's wild heartland-these hardy souls rely on one another, seeking opportunities in a young nation headed for Civil War.
"An absorbing tale of evolution and enlightenment. . . . a vivid story of immigrant experience in a historical presentation that adds the backdrop of Civil War encounters."--Midwest Book Review
" A historical novel that feels so relevant to today with its lessons and wisdom. Highly recommended reading. A good book-club choice."--Christine DeSmet, Distinguished Faculty Associate, University of Wisconsin-Madison Continuing Studies
