This is one of the best books I've read in ages. I'm a displaced Kansan, but I think Dickenson's writing would appeal to anyone! A great read!

Even if you never lived in Kansas, you will enjoy this book. For me, it invoked all I remember hearing from my grandparents, parents and what I experienced growing up in Kansas.

I am from Rawlins County and this book is a very accurate rendition of life in that part of the country! It makes me want to go back home! Dorothy was right! There is no place like home!
