River RoomA moving discussion of "Dear Jacob: A Mother's Journey of Hope" with authors Patty Wetterling and Joy Baker.
Join us for a deeply moving program as we welcome 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.
Books will be available for purchase with a book signing following the presentation.
