This is a completely true story about living your dream, standing up for your beliefs, and facing the consequences. Book signing at the Isaberg booth at the Book Fair on Friday and Saturday.
Dentist Ingvar Lundgren walks into the city hotel in Örnsköldsvik one late summer day in 1948. He is there to meet with the chair of the municipal council in Trehörningsjö and the dental health inspector for the Västernorrland County Council. He knows what he wants—a private dental clinic in the small community of Trehörningsjö. In addition to establishing the practice in the town, it is decided after the meeting that he will also help set up and staff the school dental care programs in both Gideå and Björna. But he will achieve much more than that.
*The Dentist in Trehörningsjö* is a dramatized account of the events that took place in the small forest community of Trehörningsjö between 1949 and 1965. It tells the story of how, through determination, the community transformed itself from a struggling existence with the country’s second-highest municipal tax rate into a low-tax municipality with a cultural hub and a central town for three municipalities. And how a fierce battle turned everything upside down and forced the government to intervene. At the forefront of the battle was Ingvar Lundgren, the dentist in Trehörningsjö.
