Description
Local author Loretta Sorensen will be in person at the Mead Museum on Saturday, October 4th starting at 1:30pm for a book signing of her new release "These Dakota Dreams".
The fiction book is based in the wake of the 1881 Dakota Territory’s “Great Flood,” where 17-year-old Keri Miller stands amid the wreckage of her shattered world. Her family’s homestead lies in ruins, swept away by the churning, muddy waters that ravaged the plains. Her father, her anchor, succumbs to a sudden heart attack, leaving her alone to face the foreclosure that strips away the last vestiges of their shared Dakota Dreams. The vast, windswept prairie, once alive with promise under endless skies, now feels like a hollow expanse, echoing her grief and doubt. Has her faith in God, once as steadfast as the Dakota sun, been swept away too? Yet, in the quiet resilience of the rebuilding town, a spark of hope flickers—Karl Richmond, the young, earnest preacher with a voice that carries both warmth and conviction. Can he guide Keri through the storm of her sorrow to uncover a new dream rising from the ashes of the old?
Books will be available for purchase.
