Customer Reviews

Captures SD Americana with wit and humor

This book captures mixing the happy, enveloping together family that I grew up in. Most accurate presentation of Brookings, SD that will be captured between the pages of book. She understands the people so well. Felt I knew the characters very well. Totally believable, developed characters.

South Dakota through Wise Eyes

Barbara Schnell must be a South Dakotan to get the tenor of the place so right - I'm a native, and this book is probably the first I've read that feels like I know all the characters personally. Not to mention that it's howlingly funny and a very fast read. If you're looking for a book to make a cross-country flight "fly", look no further. Entertaining, wise, and all served up with an original sense of irony.
