Looked Over Jordan: Land of Promise—Book III

By Johnny Sundstrom ’66. In this final book of the Land of Promise trilogy, Abe Saunders establishes a newspaper on the American frontier and is soon caught up in state politics. With his newfound career, he is able to advocate for Native Americans who have lost their land, but the power comes at the cost of ruining his relationships. Abe and the two women in his life, Sarah Beth and Helga, represent the transition from frontier to settlement—as well as recall the biblical story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar.
