Elin's Story 3

By: Esther Warren

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The final chapter of the Early Tales of Dalberg Novella trilogy — a tender, luminous story of grief, reinvention, and the long journey home.

Elin never expected more than a quiet life: mother, seamstress, survivor. But when a bundle of hand-sewn dresses finds its way from a small Minnesota town to a shop window in Chicago, a new path begins to open—one stitched not from necessity, but from choice.

Set in the late 19th century and rich with the textures of immigrant life, Home follows Elin as she rebuilds her world after devastating loss. With a baby on her hip, a needle in her hand, and love she never imagined waiting just ahead, she begins the slow, luminous work of becoming someone new.

A story of motherhood, memory, and the fierce, quiet power of starting again, Home brings Elin’s journey full circle—and reminds us that some lives are not merely survived, but sewn into something extraordinary.
