Early Praise for Sour Milk in Sheep's Wool.
“A well written and interesting historic drama which paints a vivid picture of the challenges an unmarried young mother could face at the end of the 19th century. The way Helen Lundström Erwin depicts the life, struggles and meager pay of “statare” in rural Sweden makes you understand why so many opted for a more uncertain future across the Atlantic.”- Swedish American Museum, Chicago

“ A timely and poignant look into her own history, Lundström Erwin’s weaving of these women’s stories serves to remind us that we modern torchbearers of reproductive rights owe an insurmountable debt to the women who came before us. Women whose cages had no bars but were prisons none the less, whose consequences were often disastrous and often fatal. And while today we fight to hold on to the choices we have, we must always remember those who have none." - Women's Health Volunteer

“This moving tale of women living in the 19th century drew me into the world of Anette’s and Hanna’s experiences, which resonated with me on many levels. I was drawn into their world through the descriptive narrative woven by Helen Erwin.” - American Scandinavian Association D.C.
