In 1938 our father Herman Larsen takes a position with the Alaska
Native Service to teach in a small Athabascan Indian village.
Herman, his wife Mae, and their eight-year-old daughter Etola
travel from Mandan, North Dakota, for 58 days to get to their new
home. In April of 1941 Mae and Etola return to Mandan to wait for
the birth of their second daughter Yvonne. On March 3rd of 1942 an
Indian woman gives birth to twins who appear to be white. The news
of the birth of white twins spreads around the village, but Herman,
the only white man in the village, denies any involvement saying
the mother's husband is part Russian and the villagers are a bunch
of "gossips." The Larsens experience tragedy in March of 1943 when
Etola dies of hepatitis. Subsequently they live in three other
Alaskan villages, during which time Robert (Bud) and Elaine are
born, then leave Alaska forever. Nearly 50 years later, Yvonne
returns to Alaska. There a native woman tells her that we have a
half-sister.
