Dust Yourself Off chronicles the life of Muriel, a quintessential Norwegian American farm girl in Fort Ransom, North Dakota, and the mother of co-author Tom Sandhei. Forced to leave home at the age of 19, Muriel was continuously faced with death and tragedy as she time and again challenged the traditional norms of wht it meant to be a farm woman in her day. Quiet yet bold, Muriel’s courage helped create this touching family story, rich in historical details and local color. Co-author Tricial Velure never met Muriel, who died at age 82 in 2004, but she calls Muriel a “bonus grandmother” and believes readers will feel the same affinity. “This book will appeal to readers who enjoy farm and small-town stories, Norwegian American history, and inspiring stories of everyday women.”
