5.0 out of 5 stars This book is wonderful!, September 15, 2003

By	Mickey Lathingham (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews

This book showed up on the "new books" table at the bookstore so I bought it. The cover is beautiful. I took it home and started reading it. I didn't get halfwaythrough it before I found myself crying. It reminded me of the things my own family has been through. The writing is so smooth and tender. Not sure who David Chartrand is, but I think this book may make him famous. AT least he's gonna be famous around my neibhorhood. -- ML

5.0 out of 5 stars A view from a Kansas native...., December 2, 2003

By	John Tompkins - See all my reviews

...so many thoughtful stories and so many similar connections for those of us who have grown up in the Midwest. Will probably read it again to make sure I didn't miss anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Christmas Gift, September 21, 2003

By	JM (Kansas City) - See all my reviews

What a wonderful Christmas gift for my girlfriends who once lived in the Heartland and have since moved away to various parts of the US. So many stories in this book have similarities of what my life was like growing up in the Midwest. I highly recommend this book. You will love it.
