Reading an erotic fiction book can be an innovative and above all unexpected experience; recounting pornography scenes with words only trying to turn them into images is a difficult and risky art, getting a term wrong can mean falling into banality because the line between the growth of the stimulus of excitement and vulgarity is very thin. Watching a pornographic video leads you to an immediate state of inebriation, reading an erotic book insinuates an excitement that you can't get rid of by simply closing the book but remains in you and accompanies you with a warm pleasure; and finally the sex that this book tells is the search for real pleasure, there is complete love where every moment has meaning, there is a plot that tells of life, there is the desire to feel fit.

Bans and Bertha Hanson and their children arrived in Mountain Iron, Minnesota, on the Mesabi Iron Range in 1892. John and Hulda Beck and their children arrived there in 1906. After they arrived, both families had more children and both lost some children. The four parents all worked very hard and made very little money. But they had dreams that their surviving children could have more comfortable lives if they could get an education which they had been denied. The two families were brought together in 1922 when the Becks' oldest son married the Hansons' oldest daughter--the first marriage for both families. Well, Here We Are! is a record of what is known about the ancestors and descendants of Bans and Bertha and John and Hulda. It is a remarkable story of how the dreams of four minimally educated people came true, largely as a result of their hard work and sacrifice, but even more because they succeeded in making their children believe in those dreams and passed them on to following generations.
