Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Christensen Family: From Old World Denmark to New World Wisconsin and Minnesota" is the story of the author's Danish family, whose great-grandparents left behind poverty for a better life in America. Using Danish and U.S. records, Marsha Ann Matson weaves the lives of fictitious and real ancestors into the histories of Denmark, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. She describes the momentous events in Denmark and the United States, which pushed her great-grandparents, Marie and James Christensen, to leave their homeland in 1883, the year of peak Scandinavian immigration to America. Relying on support from Madsen, Jensen, and Skafte relatives who immigrated before them, Marie and James undertook a grueling ocean and overland train trip with three small children. They struggled to farm, educate their children in a rural one-room schoolhouse, and adjust to a new way of life. Biographies of the Christensen children, who grew up to became parents, teachers, farmers, and a judge, are examples of the success of Danish-Americans in America.

Download or read book I Galileo written by Bonnie Christensen and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed author-illustrator Bonnie Christensen adopts the voice of Galileo and lets him tell his own tale in this outstanding picture book biography. The first person narration gives this book a friendly, personal feel that makes Galileo's remarkable achievements and ideas completely accessible to young readers. And Christensen's artwork glows with the light of the stars he studied. Galileo's contributions were so numerous—the telescope! the microscope!—and his ideas so world-changing—the sun-centric solar system!—that Albert Einstein called him "the father of modern science." But in his own time he was branded a heretic and imprisoned in his home. He was a man who insisted on his right to pursue the truth, no matter what the cost—making his life as interesting and instructive as his ideas.

Book excerpt: How much can a life change in just five years? For Emily Christensen, that span began with her conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and ended with the adoption of six children with special needs. In Keeping Kyrie, she shares the equally astonishing events in between: cochlear implant surgeries, marrying the man of her dreams, the loss of both parents, ovarian cancer, and fostering more than seventy children. At the heart of the story is her heroic effort to save the life of her youngest daughter, Kyrie (said Keer-ree-ay), who was born with Pierre Robin Sequence, a disorder where her lower face and airway were not properly formed. As a foster mom and then adoptive mother, Christensen has fought red tape and made tremendous sacrifices just to help her daughter breathe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2014 Christy Award winner! Darek Christiansen is almost a dream bachelor—oldest son in the large Christiansen clan, heir to their historic Evergreen Lake Resort, and doting father. But he’s also wounded and angry since the tragic death of his wife, Felicity. No woman in Deep Haven dares come near. New assistant county attorney Ivy Madison simply doesn’t know any better when she bids on Darek at the charity auction. Nor does she know that when she crafted a plea bargain three years ago to keep Jensen Atwood out of jail and in Deep Haven fulfilling community service, she was releasing the man responsible for Felicity’s death. All Ivy knows is that the Christiansens feel like the family she’s always longed for. And once she gets past Darek’s tough exterior, she finds a man she could spend the rest of her life with. Which scares her almost as much as Darek learning of her involvement in his wife’s case. Caught between new love and old grudges, Darek must decide if he can set aside the past for a future with Ivy—a future more and more at risk as an approaching wildfire threatens to wipe out the Christiansen resort and Deep Haven itself.

Download or read book Christensen Brothers written by Debra Hickenlooper Sowell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With members of four generations deeply involved in music and dancing, the Christensen Brothers are indisputably the United States' closest equivalent to the European tradition of dance dynasties. Their story sheds light on the history of ballet in twentieth-century America, both through their accomplishments as dancers, teachers, and company directors, and through their association with some of the most significant figures of the dance world such as Lincoln Kirstein, George Balanchine, Sol Hurok, and the Ford Foundation's W. McNeil Lowry. This triple biography encompasses the brothers' Mormon pioneer heritage, the circumstances that led them to enter vaudeville with a ballet act, and the rise and fall especially in the American West of companies with which they were associated for over six decades of their lives. This book provides an alternative to the New York-oriented volumes that so often pass as histories of American dance. Debra Hickenlooper Sowell received the De la Torre Bueno Special Ci

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eden Christiansen never imagined her role as her younger brother Owen’s cheerleader would keep her on the sidelines of her own life. Sure, it feels good to be needed, but looking after the reckless NHL rookie leaves little time for Eden to focus on her own career. She dreamed of making a name for herself as a reporter, but is stuck writing obits—and starting to fear she doesn’t have the chops to land a major story. If only someone would step up to mentor Owen . . . but she knows better than to expect help from team veteran and bad-boy enforcer Jace Jacobsen. Jace has built his career on the infamous reputation of his aggressive behavior—on and off the ice. Now at a crossroads about his future in hockey, that reputation has him trapped. And the guilt-trip he’s getting from Eden Christiansen isn’t making things any easier. But when Owen’s carelessness leads to a career-threatening injury and Eden stumbles upon a story that could be her big break, she and Jace are thrown together . . . and begin to wonder if they belong on the same team after all.

Thrust into an unfamiliar world of family, faith, and fresh starts, Scotty begins to see potential for a happy ending . . . if she’s brave enough to embrace it.
