December 19: Dakota: a Spiritual Geography, by Kathleen Norris (2001)

Through meditative stories, Norris offers a timeless tribute to an area of the Great Plains that is both desolate and beautiful, harsh and forgiving, stepped in history and myth. She offers us a “gift of hope and balance, a place to begin” understanding this region and the assurance that wherever we go, we can chart our own spiritual geography.
