Our 2026 Twin Rivers Writers Series continues this fall with a very special community partnership.
Twin Rivers is proud to partner with the North Mankato Taylor Library for its Autumn Community Read featuring Dear Jacob: A Mother’s Journey of Hope by Patty Wetterling with Joy Baker.
For nearly three decades, Minnesotans followed the search for Jacob Wetterling. In Dear Jacob, Patty shares the story from her perspective—an extraordinary journey through unimaginable loss, enduring hope and a commitment to making the world safer for children. The memoir also explores the advocacy that grew from Jacob’s disappearance and Patty’s decades of work on behalf of missing and exploited children.
