Where Eagles Nest

Book excerpt: "Where Eagles Nest chronicles a young couple, Alex and Julianna Lampert, as they immigrate from Lichtenstein, in search of land where they can raise a family and participate in the American dream. The young newlyweds eventually settle in the rugged hills and pasturelands above the Sandy River in Oregon, where they forge a life of love and pursue their quest for prosperity in spite of the struggle in the wild terrain of the Pacific Northwest in the 1880s." -Sharon Nesbit, writer and historian, author of It Could've Been Carpdale. "You will laugh, grieve, and rejoice with [Alex and Julianna] and their neighbors. Helen Wand's brilliant research breathes life into the slice of local history that will stay with you long after the last page is turned." -Alice Lynn, author of Wrenn: Egypt House, Volunteers for Glory, and Scattered Pieces
