Hope & Heart & Home On The Range
"Hope & Heart & Home On The Range" looks at the joy and the humor of life in North Dakota and the Upper Midwest. As we turn to the history that we share, we discover newfound connections between ourselves and the past, connections which both humble us and raise us up, and which sometimes cause us to laugh at ourselves. Looking at the present, we probe current issues by asking, "What does it mean to be human?' and "How do we better serve others and the truth?" With sometimes self-deprecating humor, we seek to lift up others and to find a reason to hope.
