Robin Lysne’s New Book Releases

Legendary Ancestral Women’s Series:

Book Three:

Kisti’s Royal Garden

Kisti’s Royal Garden is a collection of true stories of the Lysne family who traveled to via wagon train to northern Wisconsin in the 1850’s and became extended family of the Winnebago’s now called the Ho-Chunk people. The book also follows the Civil War saga and the recovery from the war in Portage County, Wisconsin.

“Lysne celebrates the lives of her forward-thinking Norwegian ancestors, especially the strong and capable Kisti Lysne, who understood early on the injustices done to the native peoples of Wisconsin where she and her family settled, and found, through her kindness and courage, that learning from her new neighbors was of benefit to all. The narrative is rich in detail and a poetic sense of the hearts of these pioneers.”
Congratulations on it!
Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen and The Dog of the North, Editor for Chicago Quarterly Review and Catamaran Literary Reader
