Grow the Future of Public Media

Acclaimed writer and Minnesota native, Patricia Hampl, is perhaps best known for her memoirs.  She focused on reading and writing memoirs and the importance of auto-biographies to help us understand the past in a recent speech at the Minnesota Historical Society.  Her books include "The Summer House", "2 for 5", and "Virgin Time."  Hampl has a new book coming out next year called "The Silken Chamber."  She's also working on two new books--a collection of short stories and a new memoir, about her mother and father.  It's called "My Mother's Daughter."
