Join us for a program with Barb Solberg as she talks about her book "What We Leave Behind," which was selected as part of the “Great Reads from Great Places” list for the 2025 National Book Festival of the Library of Congress!
"What We Leave Behind" is a bittersweet, iconic story of a family with allegiance to two flags -- a family who never forgot how to stay connected in the midst of some very difficult times. It’s a story of immigration, separation, and the realization that some things get left behind – children, family, friends, homelands, hopes, and dreams.
A retired Minot State University writing professor, Barb Solberg has published with Harcourt College Publishers and North Dakota Horizon Magazine. She holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of North Dakota and currently serves on the North Dakota Humanities Board of Directors.
