Born in Telemark, Norway, in 1962, Janne Myrdal left her home country after high school to do humanitarian work for refugees. It was through that ministry, which focused on Central America and U.S. inner cities but was based in Texas, where she met Mark, a farmer from the Midwest. The two married in Skien, Norway, in 1994, and raised their three children in North Dakota.

As a politician, Senator Myrdal, a Republican, has been frequently criticized by those who don't share her pro-life convictions. But it seems time to get at the truth of who she really is, and how she came to have such a passion for life. The story has roots in a World War II account of courage, which eventually gave rise to a deep love for God and cradle-to-grave respect for all humans.
