In The Sauna at Twelve-Foot, Marlene Mattila Stoehr's poetry and prose pieces capture Minnesota following the peak of Finnish immigration into the state, with evocative descriptions of the close-knit immigrant community of Sebeka, Minnesota. In a landscape of alfalfa fields, blueberry woods, and corn stubble, a parade of neighbors assembles each Saturday evening to "take sauna." They gather on the banks of the Red Eye River, at the deep spot known simply as Twelve-Foot. In wintertime, children race down frozen cow-manure piles on hand-carved wooden skis. A party-line telephone rings to deliver news of a hard loss.The collection includes the author's Finnish ancestral emigration stories and is an important contribution to Minnesota's women's and immigrant history. In a desperate search for food during devastating famine, a family skied 400 miles along frozen rivers to reach the Arctic Ocean. Other stories tell of emigration from Finnish-speaking communities in Norway to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and attempts to unravel mystery surrounding the death of a great-grandparent in Michigan's 1895 Osceola mine fire.

Love that is real come in many ways according to the world but the scripture has the perfect example of what it entails. Real love really is loving yourself first by educating your mind because being ignorant to me is more than I don't know, which really is not an excuse. You all know the familiar saying that knowledge is power. I take that very seriously because life has taught me a hard lesson education is readiness.Ignorant is a disease and I truly believe that. That is why I value education a lot. If you ask me to pick my priorities in life after God, It would be love, and then education. I hope as you read Love Expressions it will appeal to your heart to spread your love too. God Bless you.
