Growing up in Nebraska, the Land of Flat Water, was not easy for the young Laurel Rockefeller. Facing first horrific domestic violence followed by a crushing car accident and traumatic brain injury, the chaos of growing up in Lincoln was ultimately calmed by embracing Evangelical Christianity in her teen years.
Divided into three parts, this poetry book explores Laurel's relationship with Nebraska, centering on her writings from ages 8 through 28. "Land of Flat Water" takes you through Laurel's triumphs and hardships, through the best of times and worst, to tell the story of a simple girl from Nebraska gifted with music, poetry, and a love for her feathered friends.
A celebration of Nebraska and its enduring impact on one life.
Born, raised, and educated in Lincoln, Nebraska USA, Laurel A. Rockefeller's passion for animals comes through in everything she writes. First self-published in 2012 as a social science fiction author (the Peers of Beinan series), Laurel has expanded her work into the animal care/guide, history, historical fiction, and biography genres. But she is best known for her biographies, particularly the Legendary Women of World History series where she applies her formal education from the University of Nebraska.
Find Laurel's books in digital, paperback, and hardcover in your choice of up to ten languages. Audio editions are published in all four available languages: English, French, Spanish, and German. Most of them feature period music performed by actor-musicians. You can also hear Laurel sing on three of the audiobooks: Catherine de Valois (Spanish), The Arban and the Saman, and Songs of the Beinarian Court.
Besides advocating for animals and related environmental causes, Laurel A. Rockefeller is a passionate educator dedicated to improving history literacy worldwide, especially as it relates to women's accomplishments. In her spare time, Laurel enjoys spending time with her cockatiels, travelling to historic places, and watching classic motion pictures and classic television series.
