Memories of the love between her parents and her mother's love help Betsy make the decisions she needs to face the future.
Leona's Review:
I found a clipping from the newspaper about
these authors who meet in a place near me in Wyoming, Minnesota so I had an
interest in the local authors. I checked out this book from my library in North
Branch, Minnesota.
This book is a selection of short stories
and all include the Northern Lights and stories based in Minnesota.
This group of authors is called The
Northern Lights Writers of Minnesota. http://www.northernlightswriters.org
After each chapter is About the
Author.
