A Fort Frances author is out with a book based on the life of her great-grandmother.

Francis Shelfantook says she used real life experiences of her great-grandmother, from her early life in Sweden to a move to Minnesota in the 1860's in the novel Sophia's Journey.

"It's true in essence really because I didn't make anything up of the adventures that she had," says Shelfantook. "All of the events had some basis in reality."

She'll launch her book at the Fort Frances Library tomorrow with a signing from noon until 2 p.m.
