The Stadems' Book of Letters is a delightful book opening a door into the lives of South Dakota immigrants, Alfred and Bergit Stadem, and their nine children. Would you, the reader, like to step back in time to this real family of pioneer days and thereafter? Here is your grand opportunity! Not only the letters but the photographs award us the Sweepstakes prize opportunity to relive and enjoy each and every one of their personal experiences, as well as daunting challenges they as a family, hand in hand, faced unitedly and courageously in life. The authors of these letters vary greatly in ages, from children as young as seven years old, to those who have seen many sunsets in their lives--even to 100 and more years of life, stretching from the Wright Brothers to the Apollo Moon Mission and beyond! This makes this book uniquely suited to convey to us the varying voices that speak lovingly from each letter. Whether a joyous celebration of a birthday or anniversary, a graduation from school, a loss of a loved one by accident, planning a wedding, just to say hello, sympathize or offer helping hands or a strong arm of support, this Stadems' Book of Letters is a cornucopia of delectables. Take this precious time capsule of real thrills and chills that is ready for the seal to be broken and the contents opened and explored for all to read, imagine, experience, and most of all, enjoy.
