It's the Roaring Twenties, Jake and Raisa Kessel are married with two kids and a pile of growing debt. They need a change, some new pickings. They pack up for the bright lights and new opportunity in Port Huron, Michigan. They are living high on the hog; overnight, Jake finds himself standing in endless soup lines and even longer job lines. It's The Great Depression. Jake knows he has to make some 'fast money' to get his family back to Wyoming, even if it might be illegal or dangerous. Back in a Lovell, Wyoming share cropper's shack, Jake and Raisa struggle to put food on the table and clothes on their backs. Raisa isn't cut out to do the hard physical field work and soon she's down to the flesh on her bones; she gives Jake an ultimatum. It's just the push Jake needed as they move off the rented farm and into their own tar-papered home in town. Then, Japanese bombs fall on Pearl Harbor and everything changes. The government needs men to build the Heart Mountain relocation camp and Jake signs on. Months later, Jake takes a job with Marathon Oil giving him a steady pay check and a retirement plan. The tide has turned, life is good. Their only son enlists to fight in WWII in Europe and they each have brothers who are Japanese POW's. Who will come home and who won't? What does the end of their life together bring? Who will be the first to die? Life is not always what it promises or seems and sometimes it breaks a person. When Jake is left alone after Raisa dies, he's like a boat without a rudder. What does he do to fill the void? He and longtime friend, Pastor Floyd Schweiger take an interest in saving the Pryor Mountain wild horses-but will this diversion fill his lonesome nights without Raisa? Flesh on the Bone is a touching, realistic account of a true American family, filled with ambition, promises, love and loss; it is a legacy of surviving the ups and downs of life. The novel twists and turns through family stories passed down and fleshed out with imagination and carefully researched historical events. Schutte lays the tension, poverty, and daily grind of the lives of her characters on the table. She has a knack for getting into their heads and hearts and taking the reader with her. This---is a family saga, a story of the personal struggles of the immigrant's children!

Flesh on the Bone 3rd in a Trilogy of an American Family Immigration Saga Family Trilogy eBook Karen L Schutte Elizabeth Klenda Reviews
After reading the first two in the series, it was good to follow the next generation of this family. I found this book difficult to put down. I was pulled into the time and place and really felt like I was in the story. The in depth visual of words kept me riveted to the pages. Thanks for bringing my ancestry to life. My emotions went from lows to highs, from joy to sorrow. Many tears shed reading this one.
Good Book.
Karen Schutte has again written a book that you won't lay down until you are thru reading it.
Very realistic depiction of what our ancestors experienced in their journeys from the old countries, Germany and Russia in the early 1900's
A great reflection of the times and hardships those people had to endure,along with a bit of fun thrown in. I grew up in the area and can identify with the situations.
Once again Karen has captured the essence of the Germna-Russian plight. Being a German- Russian, I especially enjoyed the reminders of the cultural struggles our grandparents and parents experienced. Please continue to write, Karen. We need your voice to chronicle the wonderful history and contributions of our ancestors.
This is book three of three. I have read the first two and ready to read this one. Very well written. Excellent historical novel. I also read her, Tank Commander.
