Severed Ties and Silenced Voices is a social history of immigrant times, encapsulated in the life histories of Lars Johnson, his wife Caroline, and their nearest neighbor and his family. Their story bridges the Old World and New World experience. It concentrates on the years 1833 to 1920, but also follows the fate of the Johnson relatives and descendants, on both sides of the Atlantic, well into the twentieth century. It is a captivating documented account of cultural assimilation, broken relationships, family tragedy, and the search for personal fulfillment in difficult times.
