Описание: The Mikkelson kids, whose parents both went to college, are fortunate enough to be granted higher education. But no one realizes it can be dangerous, and not all of the kids want it. For Line, Marty and Paul, a crack in their cohesive world opens in the early 1960's, the exploration of which takes them further afield than anyone suspected.For Line, becoming an exchange student to a black women's college in Atlanta is the first step to understanding problems she couldn't imagine in her homogeneous world. Marty revels in art, history and literature, but someone's innocent religious question frees her intellectually. Paul's legs are misshapen following reconstructive surgeries after polio, but a canoe and a guitar help unspool his particular talents.It is said that education makes one fit company for oneself. This is true for the Mikkelsons as they try to align innate gifts with what the world needs.

Описание: Newly independent, Line, Marty and Paul begin to take the world on its own terms. The shifting tectonic plates of the 1970's, however, stirred and shook culture, overturning the old values which supported wealth, class, racial and sexual boundaries. The rising counter-culture demanded maximum freedom, directness of speech, love of simplicity, an affinity for nature and kindness to children.Living his dreams in Alaska, Paul slowly becomes aware of his own lack of companionship. Marty marries Erik, an up and coming architect, though she knows his drug deals may be more exciting to him than his profession. She herself cannot imagine how to turn her passion for photography into a viable living. Line, reunited with her husband on the experimental Santa Cruz campus of the University of California, pits herself against "the establishment," preferring natural healing and alternative living.

Описание: A town of nine square blocks, surrounded by wheat fields along a railroad line in eastern North Dakota, makes an intense and magical world for Caroline (Line), Margaret (Marty) and Paul, the three middle children of the Lutheran pastor and his wife, the Mikkelsons. The Cold War feels very far away and post-World War II optimism reigns. Nevertheless, Mother and Dad are alarmed by the inroads of popular culture upon their high-minded Scandinavian immigrant world, and Paul's young life is threatened with a bout of polio which calls up all their extended family's resources.The story is told in the successive points of view of Line, who sticks up for other kids in trouble; Marty, who wishes she were pretty instead of smart; and Paul, who revels in the natural world around him. This tale, of morality, the everyday, the recurrent, is as ancient as it is modern.
