Overview

Planting Dreams: A Swedish Immigrant's Journey to America, 1868-1869
Planting Dreams Series, Book 1

Can you imagine starting a journey to an unknown country in 1868, not knowing what the country would be like, where you would live, or how you would survive? Did you make the right decision to leave in the first place? 
This first book in the Planting Dreams series portrays Swedish immigrant Charlotta Johnson (author Linda Hubalek's ancestor), as she ponders the decision to leave her homeland, travel to America, and worries about her family's future in a new country.
Each chapter is written as a thought-provoking story as the family travels to a new country to find a new life. 
Why did this family leave? Drought scorched the farmland of Sweden and there was no harvest to feed families or livestock. Taxes were due and there was little money to pay them. But there were ships sailing to America, where the government gave land to anyone who wanted to claim a homestead.
Follow Charlotta and her family as they travel by ship and rail from Sweden, to their homestead on the open plains of Kansas.
