THREE HUTTULAS

Immigrant families in the United States often have rich histories-many of them involving hardship, struggle, and loss. Some say these experiences have helped make us the strong, creative, and independent country we are today. Three Huttulas tells the immigration stories of the Huttula and Alm families beginning in the early 1900s. It describes the lives of three Huttula sisters as told by their families. The stories include heartbreaking tragedies that the families experienced from arriving on our shores, virtually penniless, until they were able to watch their children and grandchildren grow and thrive. It also describes bravery, perseverance, steadfastness, and the resolve sometimes needed to transcend the challenges life threw at them. Ultimately, this is a book about triumph and success as each of the three women left behind families that have grown and flourished in ways they could not have imagined during their most challenging moments. It is a book told by the sons of these woman and by other loving family members.
