Description:

When it’s too cold to go outside … we write.‎ When the roads are covered with ice and snow … we write.‎ And when the sun sets at dinner time, and our evenings fill with stories … we write.‎ North Dakota is a haven for writers. The long, cold winters seem made to order for anyone who ‎likes to settle in for long periods of uninterrupted reading and writing. The state’s very climate ‎encourages us to share our stories. Which is why the Lake Region Writers’ Group has compiled this book.‎ Inside its pages, you’ll find dozens of stories, poems, essays and memoirs by a wide-ranging ‎group of talented North Dakota writers. You’ll read about Bob Carney, a true-to-life bachelor ‎farmer who saw visions of greatness in his frosted window panes. You’ll read about the very real ‎blizzard of 41, which killed 78 people. And you’ll read about families — and friendships — ‎made stronger by shared experience … ‎All in a season of writing on the prairie.‎

The Lake Region Writers' Group has done a great job of putting together a wide range of stories, poems, and memoirs about winter in North Dakota. Some of the entries (particularly the fiction) would be good enough to run in national magazines and literary journals; others are notable because they reflect the voice, the memories, and the history of a pioneering generation that won't be with us much longer. If you have any connection to the Dakotas -- or just wish you did -- you'll want this book.
