About the Book

After decades of believing her mothers tale that Danish immigrant Hans Pederson left them penniless, author Paula Pederson uncovers the truth about her fathers wealth and prolific contributions to Seattle, Washington. She discovers her mysterious fathers boom to bust life in the early 19s, as she grapples with family secrets and heartbreaking deception in this very personal memoir. Was Paula a poor, bastard child or a rich heiress? Educated abroad and on the east coast, Paulas elite schooling taught her much about the nuances of social echelons and how that affects ones life choices. This coming-of-age journey spans Seattle, Singapore, Shanghai, Honolulu, New York, New Jersey, Maine and North Carolina. The discoveries include Hans Pedersons role in creating many historical Seattle Landmark buildings including the beautiful Arctic Building, the King County Courthouse, Washington Hall, The Narada and scores of other buildings and projects in the Pacific Northwest. Paulas tenacious research will encourage anyone aspiring to discover their family genealogy.

About the Author

Paula Pederson started her life journey in Seattle, Washington, but has lived in Singapore, Shanghai, Honolulu, New York, New Jersey, Maine and North Carolina. Educated abroad and on the east coast, Pedersons elite schooling taught her much about the nuances of social echelons and how that affects ones life choices. Her greatest challenge and reward has come from being the mother of five and grandmother of five. Parenting enlightened her insight into her own complicated relationship with her mother and fueled her desire to find out the truth about her father Hans Pederson. Armed with this accumulated life experience and consumed with curiosity, Pedersons quest to find her father in spite of her mothers reticence became a passion later in life. Her fiction and nonfiction writing includes two unpublished novels, this memoir and a weekly blog. She formerly enjoyed technical writing and editing posts pertaining to medical, environmental, and engineering issues. Earlier years included development work for schools and handicapped children. She graduated from Smith College with a degree in English Literature and spent one glorious summer as a seaside gardener in a resort on the coast of Maine. Pederson writes about immigrants and pioneers who came by train to Northwestern North America, expatriates to the Far East, and her love for Maine. She believes fragments of the past help us to understand who we are. Hunting for her fathers legacy and writing Mysterious Builder Of Seattle Landmarks: Searching for My Father, has shown her the timeless imprint family leaves on husbands, wives, daughters, sons, and grandchildren.
