The Road To Winona, (Hardcover)

<p>The Road to Winona is a family history - the story of late 19th century immigrants from Finland to the mining and lumber industries of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is a story of resilience -- from the need to leave one's homeland to the challenges of settling in a new country. <strong>The Road to Winona</strong> is a story of grit, grace, and the quiet power of a woman who refuses to let her world disappear.</p><p></p><p>When the copper mine closes and families abandon the town, Marija stays. Rooted to the land and to the people who remain, she builds a life where others see only loss. Through homesteading hard ground, raising a strong family, and helping establish a lumber mill that gives the town new purpose, Marija becomes the steady heart of a fading community. Her strength is not loud or boastful-it's found in work-worn hands, shared meals, and the resolve to keep going when survival itself feels like an act of defiance.</p><p></p><p>At once intimate and sweeping, <strong> The Road to Winona </strong>honors a woman whose resilience holds her family together and whose courage transforms an abandoned place into a living home.</p>
