The Seeds of the Prairie

The Seeds of the Prairie is the story of three families of German immigrants whose farm and village lives are interwoven. Picturesque storytelling brings alive the Nebraska Territory as the prairie is homesteaded.


Gus and Minnie experience hard work, sorrow, and joy on their farm while sowing seeds of love. Later, their daughter, Lisetta, and Walter (the author's mother and father) undergo severe hardship during The Great Depression, requiring an important decision to be made.
