Join the Crookston Public Library and Lake Agassiz Regional Library on Tuesday, May 12th for a deeply moving program as the library system welcomes Patty Wetterling and co-author Joy Baker to discuss their memoir, Dear Jacob: A Mother’s Journey of Hope.
For thirty years, the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling was a story that haunted Minnesota and transformed the nation. In this special author visit, Patty Wetterling shares the intimate, behind-the-scenes account of those decades – not just as a search for a missing son, but as a testament to a mother’s unwavering love and a community’s resilience. Together with Joy Baker, the blogger whose independent research helped lead to the breakthrough in the case, they will discuss the bond they formed and the power of never giving up.
This special event will begin at 7 p.m. at the Crookston Public Library, 110 N. Ash Street. Books will be available to purchase at the event courtesy of Silver Dawn Books.
Admission is free thanks in part to funding from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Legacy Fund.
