Fruitful Labor: How to Live to 104 Gracefully, Gratefully is a charming tale of family ties, over-the-top gardening and persisting despite the brutal Minnesota winters and the volume of grief only a 104-year-old experiences. Laura Wallgren (1915-2019) was a farmer’s wife, a devoted Christian and a talented quilter. Living a simple life among the rolling hills of New York Mills, Minnesota, Grandma Laura was plain speaking, spunky and a little bit vain. This heartfelt portrait of a Midwestern centenarian who carries on with grit and humor is like a family recipe for fresh strawberry pie.
