Daughters of the Grasslands: Memoirs by Mary Woster Haug "The chapters in this book are layered and interwoven explorations of several cohesive themes: coming to understand the past, cross-cultural experience, knowing oneself through becoming a stranger, and relations to the land and to the traditions of two different places, and the mother-daughter bond both as metaphor and theme.� Kent Meyers, author of The Witness of Combines

Autorenporträt
Mary Alice (Woster) Haug grew up on a farm/ranch just west of the Missouri River. She attended school in Chamberlain and then South Dakota State University where she eventually taught English for 30 years before retiring in 2008. She has been writing for several years about her childhood on the grasslands of South Dakota and the ways in which family, church and land influenced her. She has participated in several writing retreats at Windbreak House where she worked with Linda Hasselstrom. Mary Alice has also attended workshops at the Loft Literary Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the fall of 2008, she was an Artist in Residence for the Badlands National Park, the inspiration for the essay �On the Badlands Loop Road.� She was an exchange professor at Chungnam National University, Daejeon, South Korea in the spring of 2006. She is currently writing a book called Crossing Borders: Discovering Myself in Korea, exploring the ways in which her time in South Korea inspired memories of South Dakota. She recently received a Bush Dakota Creative Connections grant to travel to South Korea to revisit the places and people she describes in her book. In 1990, she edited the book The Woster Brothers Brand, a collection of her brothers� columns, published by Ex Machina Press.
