Muus is the American edition of a volume originally published in Norway. Newly translated, this gripping narrative details a prominent nineteenth-century Lutheran couple's separation, which signaled a cultural shift. Oline Muus was many things: a Norwegian immigrant, a pastor's wife, a mother, and a valued member of her rural Minnesota congregation.

In her new home of America, the law regarding inheritance was on her side and the campaign of rights for women was gaining ground.
