Side bar Note: “Searched, learned, resolved. I penned my story using Swedish Folklore as a fairytale genre, wrapped into, around and through genealogical reality and Swedish heritage customs. All my represented characters existed. Celebrative customs enacted traditionally, woven magically through invisible time, space, and place.” , Skog shares.

The divided heart conflict of motherland America and Fatherland Sweden evolves its energy connecting genealogical heritage reality, enacted within a fantasy framework. Reality, dreams, heart-warm wishes led me to form an emotional involvement with genealogical family members, vicariously transformed my identity, deep meaning, understanding of self by immersion into my Swedish heritage roots.

Conflicts of the hearts, often a universal theme amongst immigrants and their decedents in their new country of residence expands my book out of my Swedish perspective, to that of all ethnic’s divided heart. Genealogy is the third largest hobby in the United States for those seeking back to the grounding of their ethnic people’s cultural homeland. In this sense my book is not a just a Swedish niche book, but can be enjoyed, meaningful to all who seek back for personal understanding.
