Summary of Winn Collier's A Burning in My Bones - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1902, Andre and Juditta Odegard Hoiland loaded their pots and pans, a few family heirlooms, and nine children into a trunk and a couple of canvas bags. They boarded a steamer in Stavanger, Norway, and watched the coastland cliffs fade to mist. They settled in Kalispell, Montana. #2 The land's natural beauty overwhelmed the more sordid human elements.
The valley's expansive, hopeful landscape shaped Eugene's spiritual imagination. #3 Eugene grew up in Montana, and the land and the sky there became his catechism. He would later write that the Flathead Valley geography became as important in orienting him as theology and the Bible did. #4 You taught me that if it hadn't killed me, it was probably good for me. You got me to undertake many things I would not have dared undertake without your encouragement.
You also taught me how to take defeat when it came.
