Synopses & Reviews
In a starting blend of historical fact and fiction, the author recreates the vibrant intense journey of Kaisa Touri from a spirited young immigrant in the 1900's to a woman, forever changed and eventually strengthened by the horrific event that slams down upon her, like a tornado packed with a ton of flying debris, on the muggy dusk of a brilliant summer day.
Bursting with possibilities, Kaisa, blessed with a sharp mind, a hearty, industrious soul, good looks, and a keen sense of humor roars onto the new century. But shame and betrayal soon dampen her spirits when she finds herself jilted and pregnant. She sets out to achieve redemption with her family, restore her self esteem and seek love a second time, but she can not stop the downside of destiny form finding her again. It comes in the form of pure evil. Trapped in a pocket of darkness and despair, she experiences a loss so brutal, she can barely find the breath to go on living.
Sisu, another word for indomitable, sprit, is Kaisa's inspiring story of survival of her coming face to face with an unspeakable tragedy, of her spiral downward and her climb back up to recovery. It is a powerful tale of soul dying and reawakening. It is finally a poignant celebration of the healing power of love.
Sisu is a story of profound love and devotion between mother and child and husband and wife. It is set in a fascinating time when ethnic lines are beginning to be crossed, when telephones, electricity and automobiles are exploding into reality, when women are secretly banding together to fight for equal rights, when war is on the doorstep and a deadly flu epidemic is wreaking havoc across the burgeoning America.
