The Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center welcomes Diane Wilson, author of The Seed Keeper to an author conversation as part of the South Dakota One Book tour. Join us on Wednesday, September 20 at 6 p.m. for an evening of discussion and book signing with the writer, speaker, educator, and author.

The Seed Keeper centers around Rosalie Iron Wing, who draws strength from the knowledge that she is descended from women with souls of iron, women who have protected their families, their traditions, and a precious cache of seeds through generations of hardship and loss.

Readers may purchase the book at Mitzi’s Books in Rapid City or at the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center museum store in advance or during the event. Light refreshments will be served.

Funded by a grant from the South Dakota Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the One Book Tour 2023 introduces communities throughout South Dakota to Wilson’s multi-generational story.
