Synopsis

Described in this book is something that stands like the crumbling limestone edifices, against the backdrop of a fiery, middle-country sunset: a last vestige of the American West. This memoir presents a dying if not already nearly extinct way of life—a tale with the icy cold of a frozen river raccoon hunt or the heat from a dirt-bike engine as it whines and races across the endless prairie. It stands as a history that millions of any generation Americans can relate to—a ‘modern’ day Laura Ingalls Wilder so to speak. A story that is rough-hewn with homespun yarns, yet soft as worn leather, containing a warm and wise humor—interwoven with foundational elements of deep family ties, the value of hard work and perhaps above all—a love and respect for the land and its bounty. Yes, this is the memoir of my father’s childhood and upbringing in western Nebraska, but it is so much more. What makes this different from other farm/ranch/country-kid memoirs? The pure amount of unfiltered Americana, the hair-raising hunting exploits, the laugh-out-loud situations in the midst of a pasture or a cornfield—the saturation of local color that paints a portrait of mid-western lore and lifestyle—a museum quality gathering of stories that live and breathe beyond the page. Child of the High Plains delivers a humble continuation of that same tradition of so many stories both unwritten and recorded. So whether you might read this from your rocking chair on the porch at your farmhouse twenty miles from a tiny spit of a midwestern town, or at a coffee shop in the midst of the city noise, lights and people—your readership means the world to us all--and we reckon that something, or maybe many things in this book, will mean something to you.
