Paula, Doris, and Hans Pederson
Those of you who recall that I’ve spent years writing a book may think that by now it languishes in a box in the back of my storeroom. Not so! The collage of images above represents the cover of a memoir to be published in the coming months.
My father, Hans Pederson, an early 20th Century contractor, helped propel the building boom that transformed Seattle from a frontier town into the vibrant city that existed by 1929 when the Depression shut down commerce.
I never knew this, because my father died when I was one month old. After many years I obtained a crucial document that pointed the way to the truth about Hans Pederson’s contribution to the Pacific Northwest.
Solving the mystery of my pioneer immigrant family has been a singular journey. As the story nears publication—stay tuned!
I’m waiting eagerly to read your chez d’ouvre. I know it will be superb.
Thanks. You’ve made my day!
I like the cover – how exciting!!
Thanks—it’s finally coming together.
Cool cover. Congrats on the book getting finished.
Excited for you!
This cover is really attractive and makes me want to read that book as soon as it comes out
Thanks. The heart of the story is in the cover.
