Alice Gunness writes of farm life, growing up in Minnesota and raising a family in North Dakota. Readers meet her Swedish immigrant parents and Donald Gunness, her husband, in a family of fourth-generation Norwegian immigrants. Alice’s stories show us a farm family and a business family working for the betterment of coming generations. Humor, faith, love, and hard work sparkle in Alice’s stories. In Nurtured by Nature Book II, readers meet Alice and Donald as children, learn of their married lives, and follow Alice into the present. As a little girl, Alice and her father scramble under a train car, coming home from a movie. Teenaged Alice sits on her skis down a snowy slope. As a mother, she carries bread bowls with her in the car, to let the dough rise and be punched down, while traveling to bring her daughter home from college. Now widowed, Alice Gunness reflects on faith during a pandemic. Alice writes in her own voice, with sensory detail and dialogue. Her writing moves the heart.
