Aprašymas

Edwin Vikman and his twin Dwane are men of courage and perseverance who were born during the depression. Orphaned when their mother died in childbirth and their father, a popular Lutheran minister, was killed in a car accident. The life that followed was harrowing. Ed says early in the account, "If I didn't dream I could make it, I would never even come close." How they survived those early years is documented in this story. It is a true story of endurance and love, a story filled with heartache, but humor too. It was a life spent with an aunt who despised them, a life of foster homes, and a life of near indentured servitude. Despite this, the Vikman story is not one of misery and neglect. Indeed, it is a story of triumph. When asked why the story should be told, Edwin said, "I want people to understand that it's not how a person is raised, but what they do with their lives that's important. I simply want our story told."
