Synopsis

North Dakota's secret beauty first became legend when Lewis and Clark described the state's natural abundance in their journals. Pioneers marveled at the rich soil of its "vastlands", and President Teddy Roosevelt enjoyed the rugged extravagance of its Badlands. Although North Dakota is known for those who have triumphed over its wide open spaces, few have celebrated its gentle, tender spots. Photographer Steven Silverman decided to do both. In a journey that took him ten years, Silverman explored North Dakota's unbounded radiance in places both great and small. Steve's wife Robin, an inspirational author, joined him on the land. She found that it had a voice of its own that was both stern and soothing. In "the sea of forever", she discovered that stress seemed to disappear, replaced by a comforting, sure stillness. AMERICA'S LAND OF TRANSQUILITY is a treat for the eye and sustenance for the spirit. It can be enjoyed as a metaphoric three-part journey into your own heart, or simply as a celebration of what Steve Silverman calls, "America's Freedom Frontier".
