Hear from Laura Ingalls Wilder, as she reflects almost 40 years after, her book The Long Winter which tells the story of her family surviving a horrific 8-month-long winter of 1880-1881 on the sparsely inhabited Dakota Territory. She'll shares what lessons she learned from that Hard Winter.
These are feelings we can all relate to, perhaps now more than ever: dealing with uncertainty, social isolation, and anxiety about the future. And the lessons are just as true as ever: have faith, have hope, and to ask for help when you need it.
Laura Keyes is the Director of the Dunlap Public Library in Central Illinois. She has been asked to speak twice for the Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association, and she received the “Excellence in Performance” award from the Association of Lincoln Presenters in 2018.
