Longtime Brookings resident and author Mary Alice (Woster) Haug hold a book signing and presentation on her latest book, Daughters of the Grasslands, on Thursday, October 30 at 7 pm at the Library.
The book weaves South Dakota stories of spirituality, mothers and daughters, and knowing oneself with the author’s experience of living in Daejeon, South Korea as an exchange professor in 2006. Begun simply as a record of a visit to a fascinating but very different world, the author found ceremonies and events triggered memories of growing up in South Dakota, creating a beautiful memoir of family life in both places.
Books will be available to purchase.
