Here's a plot synopsis below:

Join us as we welcome Polish-German-American-North Dakotan Claus Lembke to Main Street Books!

From a KFYR-TV feature:

Born in Nazi-occupied Poland, Claus Lembke just wanted to be a farmer. But there was nowhere for him to farm.

So, in 1965, at 22 years old, he came to America. He didn’t speak the language and knew just one person.

Fifty-six years later, he says it’s the best thing he ever did.

As a young lawyer working for large corporations and law firms in New York City and Washington DC, Sarah Vogel, a North Dakota native, longed for a chance to represent the “good guys against big corporations and the federal government.” Little did she realize that the biggest case of her life and the biggest case for famers would grow from her decision to move back to North Dakota and to quickly become the lawyer to represent one North Dakota farmer against the Farmers Home Administration.

Joelle Bearstail joins us from Mandan, ND to present her new children's book, Bear's Braid! November is Native American Heritage Month, so we are extra excited to have Joelle present her amazing book about resilience against bullying and being proud of who you are. You won't want to miss it!
