BEYOND THE BOOK:   A Virtual Conversation and Q&A with Kent Nerburn – Free ReplayBy: Kent Nerburn

Praised by Louise Erdrich as “storytelling with a greatness of heart,” Nerburn’s writing once again touches the soul in this deeply moving tale of compassion and redemption. Set during the drought-stricken summer of 1950, Lone Dog Road follows two young Lakota boys fleeing a government agent across the Dakota plains. Their journey—rich with unforgettable characters and spiritual depth—becomes a poignant quest to reclaim a sacred family object and, in doing so, their own identity.

Whether you’ve finished the book or are just beginning, this is a rare opportunity to connect with Kent Nerburn in an open, heartfelt conversation about story, spirit, and the human journey.
