In 1983, fourteen-year-old Danny Lahti is the first to learn his mother committed suicide. Seeking to understand why, he searches the house for answers, and uncovers a hidden packet of old letters and clippings — the only clues to his mother’s rash act. Hidden within the memorabilia are details of nearly seventy-five years of undisclosed family history: the story of his immigrant grandfather who fled Finland to escape conscription by the Czar; the madness of his grandmother whose twin sons were taken too young; the struggle of the remaining son who emigrates to Russia in the ‘30s with more than six thousand other Finnish-Americans; and the idealistic, but deadly, protest of Danny’s mother against the Vietnam war. Across the decades, motives and loves infect each succeeding generation in unexpected and sometimes quite destructive ways. But truth has a way of eventually exerting itself. In the end, Danny Lahti can only understand his mother — and himself — if he deciphers the past. But can he succeed? Set among some real-life and often-forgotten chapters of politics in America’s heartland, The Finnish Girl is one immigrant family’s attempt to fullfil its American dream, and keep it from becoming a nightmare.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
