Hope is the Color of the Sun by Erika Dyk Book Signing

Hope is the Color of the Sun: A Poet Scrapbooks Her Way Back to Courage is an atypical scrapbook of creative non-fiction and poetry that captures the writer’s journey back to hope and light after walking through the grief of losing her mother. The atypical scrapbook is a collection of writings in which the writing is like a scrapbook picture and the poet “captioned” each writing with when it was written and the inspiration for the writing. Originally from Bowman, Erika Joy is a North Dakotan poet, writer, educator, scrapbooker, and haiku fan. She enjoys time traveling via writing and helping other people time travel too. She currently lives in Hazen, North Dakota.
