The presentation:
Robin’s new narrative non-fiction book called “Kisti’s Royal Garden,” is about the immigration of her great-great-grandparents who settled in Amherst, Wisconsin. It is the third book in a series called: Legendary Women Ancestor Series. Books one and two are about her great-great-great-grandmother, Randine Stokanes Lysne, whose story is about becoming a midwife in Bergen then Laerdal, Norway.
This third story, focusing on Kisti, is a narrative true story that was originally collected by her grandfather, Walther Herman Lysne, who grew up in Amherst. While he never published it, Robin has re-written and published it.
