Finnish Beginnings is a memoir about the author’s childhood in Finland. But it is much more than that. It is about her working class family and how they coped through four wars. It is about Finnish history and culture, told through the eyes of the author as a child, describing how the family was impacted by contemporary political and historical events. The father fought in three wars, and the author and her sister became part of one of the largest child evacuations in Europe. The last four chapters develop into an immigration story in which the family leaves Finland for Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1951, only to end up languishing in the dismal Immigration Building, described by Canadian author Pierre Berton as “the home of hope and heartbreak”. In the case of the author and her family, hope triumphs over heartbreak as they build a new life in Canada.

Tucked up under the Arctic Circle in northern Europe lies the lake-strewn land of Finland. Sturdily independent today, Finland has fought forty-two wars with Russia and lost every one. Finnish, a language like no other, has emerged intact from six centuries of Swedish rule. Both of these accomplishments are directly attributable to the Finnish people's long-cherished sense of national identity. "Of Finnish Ways" is a sometimes amusing, sometimes heartbreaking tale of what makes a Finn a Finn.
