Being raised by her Finnish mumu in South Dakota, Anni always dreamed of living with her mama in their oma koti (own home). Mama comes from Chicago to visit with two surprises-a new husband and news that they're headed to Washington State to buy a farm.
Anni's dream is coming true! But the terrible truth is... they are going without her. Through an adventure involving too little food and far too much danger, Anni learns that sisu (courage) is all she needs to land the home and family of her dreams.
