O Pioneer

            
             O Pioneer!, is a story about a strong woman's life out on the land in early .
             The book takes you through all the many hardships and wonders of her life. .
             The book helps you to see the adversity of being a strong woman of that time.
             .
             The book starts off with the heroine Alexandra with her father talking to his family on his death bed. Telling the boys that Alexandra is going to be the one in control of the family farmland. That everyone is suppose to respect that. With this great responsibility she took pride in it and wanted to make he father proud and brothers world a better place.
             She had a vision that her brothers couldn't not grasp or see. They never really understood her and her love of the land. In the end that was all the true real honest love that she had. She had never married. When the time came that she wanted to marry at an age of forty her brothers tried to talk her out of it. Telling her that it would be ridiculous for to marry at such an age. That she would be making a fool of herself, and that Carl was only after their land and money. If she wanted to marry should she should have married while she was young. So they succeed when talking to Carl in not marrying and she was again alone with the land. The land that she loved and respected.
             She wanted her brothers to have a better life and her family to have a better life. She worked hard for her younger brother Emil to have a life that didn't surround farming. He was to be the one to bring the family onto new endeavors. That would all change when she looses him unexpectedly, but she moves on and forgives. She is truly a strong woman of her time.
             I found this book to be a well written book to read and to connect with. Though the book was slow to start, you grew to respect Alexandra for strong will and being by the end of it. I only wish that I could be as strong as her in the time that I am in now. Life is so much easier now than it was then in some aspects.
