Synopsis

The true story of a stone church built on wind-swept Dakota plains by Swedish migrants. The century plus structure still stands sturdy against the elements, a monument to skills and its builders and devotion of their descendants. Wind and stone are metaphors for the persistence and strength of homesteaders and structure alike. One reviewer calls the book “…a wonderful insight into the interactions between geology and climate, history and culture, community and religion.” And another, “…a gem among church histories in the state, a model for others…”
