Book Description:
|
With a focus squarely on the Midwest, Bilen pieces together the history of her grandmother, Josie Broadhead, born in 1911 and raised on the North Dakota prairie. Breathing life into Josie, the author evokes a powerful sense of place-of small towns, farms, and prairies-that feels both fresh and satisfyingly familiar. Much more than mere memoir or family history, this dual story about Bilen's journey illuminates the surprising ways our lives intersect with our ancestors'.
