Here I'll Stay: The Legacy of Pisek, North Dakota - Paperback

In the summer of 1881, a Czech immigrant family reaches a low rise on the northern prairie. The land is vast, unforgiving, and uncertain. After weeks of hardship, the father looks out and says the words that will define a town: Here I'll stay.

So begins Pisek, North Dakota.

Here I'll Stay draws on the true stories of the men and women who built a prairie community from nothing-breaking sod, raising families, weathering fire, drought, war and loss. Told through the life of Albert, caught between his father's Old-World vision and the demands of a new American town, the novel traces the fragile line between endurance and ambition, memory and change.
