Drawing on a traditional Finnish lullaby, "Lay Down on the Good Earth" celebrates the fortitude of Finnish immigrants in Michigan and the Midwest. As her husband leaves for another day in the copper mines, Sanni reflects on her role as a wife and a mother, happier days in Finland, and the surprising fate of her two sons. Although Sanni's younger years have passed, what remains certain is the process of making nisu - the kneading of the dough, the braiding of bread - each thick ribbon a symbol of the men in Sanni's life and the unending bond of family and tradition.

Beyond This Moment
Peyton has had a rough go of things. A distant father, a drunk mother. The usual sort of sob story. When Peyton finds out that her dad is getting remarried and that she's going to have to take a road trip across the country with her brother and her boyfriend to be there on his wedding day, she thinks that things couldn't possibly get any worse. Until her boyfriend cheats on her a few weeks before their departure date with none other than her best friend. The sob story continues. Now, Peyton is forced to travel across America with a foreign stranger, her grumpy brother, his very un-grumpy girlfriend, and a dog who's just trying his best. She's convinced that this will be the worst summer of her life but if it were that depressing, there wouldn't be a story written about it. Things take a twist for the better... and then for the worst... and for the better again (basically, it's a very twisty ride) as she finds ways to make this road trip memorable for everybody.Terminé
How I Fell For Him
A SuFin short story about Finland realizing his feelings for the big and intimidating country. This story takes place after the two nations decide to leave Denmark and return to their own homes. I've always wondered how they became so close and so decided to imagine it myself! I hope you'll like it! * Very cringy, and inaccurate, and full of mistakes, plot holes, and incoherences. I honestly don't understand why (so many) people like this... every time I read one part of it, I'm ready to delete it, but then it's still one of my earliest works, and i used to be proud of it, so why not keep it there... I also considered rewriting it, but I already have so much to write and I'm very lazy so if you still want to read this story you know what's ahead now 👍🏼Terminé

Nico and Nina have been married for three years when an unexpected incident threatens their future together. Could Nico prove to Nina he'll always be there for his family? Will Nina believe that she still has his heart? This is a stand-alone novel, but I do recommend reading it after "Till the End of Time." *** Trigger Warning: This book contains references to a car accident and some minor violence. ***Terminé
