An oil-worker family vows to make North Dakota home
Kendra Hill and her husband moved to rural North Dakota’s oil fields so he could earn double the wages he made in their native Washington. Now they’ve bought a house, they have a five-year-old and a baby, and even as the oil boom slows, they’re planning to make North Dakota their home. Todd Melby talked with Kendra as part of his series, “Black Gold Boom.”
