of the American continent to win a $10,000 wager. On

fascinating journey of an audacious act of courage and
love of a mother trying to save a family farm.

"A
unique and rich history of an era and a people,
a history that leaves us thinking long after we
reach the end. Bold Spirit reminds us of the power
of story in our lives and the consequences for all
of us when one family's story is silenced.”
Jane Kirkpatrick, author |
