Minnesota Child… a Memoir

Come along with Lorraine on a rollicking ride through rural Minnesota. From her birth in the little house to her dad’s moonshine still, from various incarnations of ‘the backhouse’ to adventures in decorating, from combating aggressive farm animals to little Loren’s wild ride, her recounting of this period of American history is told through personal stories. Often witty and tongue-in-cheek, yet sometimes heartbreaking, the author shares reflections of life during the Great Depression from a child’s perspective.

Lorraine has written this book for children all over the world, to illustrate that joy can be found in life’s smallest pleasures, and that imagination, hope and determination are all greater than adversity.
