My latest book – Beyond the Tangled Trail Shirley D. Meier.”
Shirley D. Meier, born and raised in North Dakota, is a descendant of German pioneers who helped tame the western landscape. A University of Montana graduate, she worked previously in theater and education. Now living in Colorado, she enjoys her family, travelling, and has published several books, including The Tangled Trail, the first book in this series.

The land is in their blood. The continuing saga of the next three generations of the stalwart Baumann family

The Baumann family’s ties to their ancestral land are as fierce as their determination to overcome overwhelming odds. Their hard-fought ranch, Fort Badge, is now thriving on the North Dakota plains near the Missouri River, but the post-World War II world is changing, threatening to destroy everything the Baumann line has established. The ranch is endangered by the encroachment of the Garrison Dam waters and forced relocation. In the years to come, the family must tackle hardships inflicted by the Korean War, natural disasters, and the COVID pandemic. Beyond the Tangled Trail is a stirring celebration of familial love and commitment as they survive ordeals, tears, and triumphs in their quest to establish an enduring legacy.
