South of Stavewood The white pine forests of Northern Minnesota surround Stavewood, the beautiful home of Timothy and Rebecca Elgerson. On the day of their wedding Emma Harris becomes more than a guest and begins a new life in a wonderful and rugged world. Roland Vancouver, once a successful foreman at the Elgerson mill, attends the ceremony as well. Less than optimistic for a happy future, injured and emotionally damaged, he can only hope for a miracle. That glimmer of faith puts him in the path of Emma and the promise of love that takes them both on a journey of a lifetime. Stavewood is the saga of a home, and the men and woman in a changing land, seeking hope and a promise for something better. South of Stavewood includes a map of Stavewood.
