The couple now happily reside in Spink County, South Dakota. His new Book “Becoming One” is an Historical Novel.In the year 1930, Delia has lost her husband and is on the brink of losing her farm. To make matters worse, she may have to give her only son to her sister for upbringing. Peter, who has been hit hard by the death of his wife, is looking for ways to support his two daughters. Unfortunately, the stock market crash has caused the tire plant where he worked to stop production and he has lost his job due to the layoffs. Peter was the brother of Delia’s husband, Paul.
