Kurzbeschreibung

"This collection of letters is about one woman's concern for the health, happiness, and economic security of her family--a family which was split in two by emigration--and about her struggle for happiness despite that split. What a remarkably persistent lady she was! What a remarkable collection of letters this is!"--Yearbook of German-American Studies "Adolf E. Schroeder and Carla Schulz-Geisberg have woven together the letters and autobiography of Henriette Geisberg Bruns (Jette) into a powerful, often moving account of this German immigrant woman's life. . . . Historians interested in women, the family, German immigration, and ethnicity will find Hold Dear, As Always to be a valuable and singular source. . . . More than a record of events and activities, her letters present the proddings of the inner self in the face of both tragedy and joy."-- Annals of Iowa
