What is Onion Avenue : a novel about?

It was the late 1930s, with the country just coming out of the Great Depression, when Kate Morgan, city girl and interior decorator, realized her dream of living on a farm. As a bride, she moved to her husbands 100-year-old Stangland family farm acquired by his Norwegian great-grandfather. But the dream meets with some harsh realities. Kate must keep house without electricity, without plumbing or running water and with all the uncertainties of growing onions on the black bottom land of northern Indiana. Through it all, Kate manages to get to the source of a long-standing family feud, but is unwittingly instrumental in linking a young neighbor with an unlikely suitor. This novel has its roots in Nora McNabs first historical novel, The Beckoning. In it she tells the story of Andreas Stangeland (later Andrew Stangland) her great-grandfather, as he cultivates his 48 acres in New York into an improved farm. He marries an American school teacher who has taught him to speak English. Eventually he trades his farm for 600 unseen acres in Indiana. The outcome of that transaction is the basis for Onion Avenue.
