註釋This second family chronicle, importantly, is a continuation of a 2001 work, entitled All the King's Horses and All the King's Men: Love, Alienation, and 'Reconciliation' in a Big, BIG Mormon Family (Bloomington: Xlibris), which first tried to explain the demise of the author's parents and siblings. The suicide of his young sister Marit forced the author--professional historian, American Studies scholar, and self-appointed family biographer--to revisit the question of the probabilities for success his thirteen younger siblings ever really had. What he found proved shocking, for in the fifteen years that have passed since he counted in on them, there are grounds for celebration. Retelling their story, and their stories in fine, is how he chooses to mourn his sister's passing, pointing an accusing finger at his Viking father and mother and younger brother, but singling out the rest as heroic and remarkable examples of the human spirit; but more than this, documenting the unbelievable artistic and musical achievements of no less than nine of them all told. At bottom, the Forsbergs are an example of why, and how, the caged bird sings.
