Book signed by the author.

This hard-to-find book features uplifting women's stories with plenty of colorful and black-and-white photographs.

Dakota Dreams: Women's Stories of Passion and Perseverance presents the stories of seventeen women from age fourteen to eighty, living in a variety of locations and situations, mostly in western South Dakota. As the title suggests, there are common themes throughout the book. Yet, each woman is unique and has carved out her own individual path. For some that path has been more difficult than for others. The women share the challenges they encountered along the way and how they managed to deal with them and follow their dreams. None of the women are giving advice, but rather sharing their stories honestly and openly, hoping they may inspire the reader to take steps toward reaching their dream.
