About this listen

Years later, when Grace Laporte Nyberg's grandson refused to go to kindergarten, she remembered the day when the Lake stole her childhood.

On the edge of the Big Lake live the Laportes. The family is poor but happy, until disaster strikes. Struggling to feed her children, Rose takes on more and more washing and seamstress work. In the process, she reaches out to and becomes a part of her community.

The years turn and things change. Children are born and people die. One World War sends the men overseas and gives women new opportunities, and another follows close on its heels. There is joy and sorrow, hard work and fun, and, above all, humanity.

And through it all, the Big Lake, observing everything, keeps its secrets to itself.
