"Born in 1900, near the hamlet of Markerville, Alberta, Rosa Benediktson was the youngest child of the famous Icelandic-Canadian poet, Stephan G. Stephansson. Rosa's memoir, Looking Back Over My Shoulder, takes readers on a journey to nineteenth-century Iceland, to the fertile plains of North Dakota, and settles on the scenic banks of the Medicine River. Widowed at a young age - with four young children - Rosa found strength in her father's poetry, in the memory of her husband, and in the support of family, neighbours, and the Icelandic community. Rosa's memoir is an Alberta historical treasure: a first-hand account of the joys and struggles of pioneer life and the making of an Alberta community". Book about Stephan G. Stephansson & Widowhood. Edited by Moorea Gray. Locale: Iceland; Markerville--Alberta; North Dakota; Prairie Provinces; Western Canada. (Western Canada, Memoir, Pioneer Life, Poetry).
