Katrine: High Valley Home
With her family missing, nine-year-old Katrine Larson seeks her place among the Swedish settlers in a harsh, isolated valley among Sheepeater Indians and thieves.
During the Snake River Indian wars, Katrine: High Valley Home shares the traditions and ways of pioneer life among Swedish emigrants who struggle to farm in a mountain valley. This historically based novel is geographically centered on Long Valley, Idaho.
BOOK NOTES:
Katrine: High Valley Home is Erik Larson’s sister’s story. It is a novel of survival, coming-of-age, mixed cultures, and lawlessness. Although it is written through the eyes of a young girl as she struggles to survive extreme difficulties to her teenage years, first love, and the brink of marriage, it is written at a suitable level for young teenagers through adult. It is strongly based on Swedish culture as it would be in the 19th Century, the Native Americans of this region, the Chinese, and life and death scenarios. It is based on the geography and history of Central Idaho, particularly surrounding Long Valley. Katrine was awarded Editor’s Choice and Star designations by the publisher iUniverse. It earned a gold medal for best cultural fiction from the Next Generation Indie Book Awards. It was also named a finalist (one of two) for the Western Writers of America young adult fiction.
Although the fourth novel by the author, it fits best as the second novel in the Sheepeater Indian series since it tells the story of what happened to Erik’s sister, the lead protagonist of the series. As all books in the series, it is a good stand alone novel since adequate backstory is given. The series is planned to conclude with the Sheepeater Indian War of 1879. All illustrations are the author’s work. The cover painting depicts the country near Long Valley, Idaho.
