This month, our spotlight will shine on Harper!
Harper has been writing Bonanza fanfic for more than four years. Her stories, which often focus on the years shortly before the series begins, are a wonderful medley of drama, humor, and classic Cartwright attitudes and values. Her devotion to historical research reveals itself in a myriad of details that make ranch life as vivid as the reader’s own backyard.
Our spotlight story for this month is the classic Holdin’ the Cut, in which Adam returns from college to find that life on the Ponderosa presents many unexpected challenges. One of the biggest struggles he faces is reconnecting with ten-year-old Little Joe, who has also changed and grown during their time apart.
So, head on over the library and enjoy this excellent story of two brothers rediscovering each other. Then come into the VCLS to ask Harper about it and get your badge!
