Papa's Wife (Book #1 in the The Franzons Series) by Thyra Ferré Björn and Thyra Ferre Bjorn HC/DJ 1969

"Papa's Wife" is a novel written by Thyra Ferre Bjorn and originally published in 1939. The story is set in rural Minnesota in the early 20th century, where a young girl named Christine is sent to live with her father and stepmother.

Christine's stepmother, whom she refers to as "Papa's wife," is a cold and unfeeling woman who makes life difficult for Christine. Despite the challenges she faces, Christine finds solace in her friendship with a neighboring family, the Olsons, and in her love for the natural world around her.

As Christine grows up, she starts to understand the reasons behind her stepmother's behavior and the complexities of her family situation. She also falls in love with a young man named Nels Olson, but their relationship is threatened by the disapproval of Christine's stepmother.

Throughout the novel, Christine struggles to find a place for herself in the world and to reconcile her love for her father with her dislike for his wife. In the end, she must make difficult choices to find happiness and fulfillment in her life.

"Papa's Wife" is a moving and evocative coming-of-age story that explores the themes of family, love, and nature, and the challenges of life in rural America. The novel paints a vivid portrait of a time and a place, and captures the essence of a young woman's journey towards self-discovery and acceptance.
