‘Forgiven: A Story of a Discarded Infant in Ninth Century Norway’

Against the blood-spattered backdrop of the Viking Age, American novelist, PM Kulseth, weaves fact with fiction in this “historical thriller of an infant, who is born unwanted and unloved.”
Rescued by a reclusive mountain woman, she rises above her dire circumstances, overcoming fear and aggression to become a strong independent woman.
Xlibris publishers report that with stunning accuracy and scope, “‘Forgiven’ is a sweeping historical saga as it follows the life of this discarded child who must come to grips with her revolting identity, and a young boy who must deal with the demons of his traumatic past.”
This work is a story of conversion and forgiveness, the restoration of broken spirits, and the discovery of a most unexpected love, says Xlibris. It has been called “heartbreaking, yet heartwarming ... a powerfully moving storyline with complex characters. ‘Forgiven’ is one deliciously haunting read.”
Xlibris promotes the book to “adventure and historical enthusiasts as a tale of conflict and redemption.”
The author, Kulseth, was born and raised on a farm in southwest Minnesota, and is the granddaughter of Norwegian immigrants. She has retained a close association with her extended family in Norway. With a fondness for that country, its folk arts and history, she taught community classes in rosemal painting and won contests with her hardanger embroidery. Now in her senior years, alone and homebound, she used this solitude to fulfill a lifelong desire to write.
