Participants in the next book talk at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre will get a glimpse of what it was like to grow up in Rural America in the 1950s.

Guest speakers Jackie Pfeiffer McGregor and Janine Pfeiffer Knop will present the free program via Zoom in the Jay D. Vogt Education Room at the Cultural Heritage Center. People may attend the program in person or join via Zoom on their own devices. Attendance at the Cultural Heritage Center will be limited to 25 people.

Jackie and her husband, Bob, now live near Colville, Wash. Janine and her husband, Fred, farm near Atlantic, Iowa. Growing up, the girls were watched over by their parents and the windmill that tirelessly provided them with the water vital to their survival. Their stories are told in four voices in the book: Jackie, Janine, the two together, and the windmill.
