Customer Reviews

A humorous insight to the realities of Plains life.

Roger paints with words Norman Rockwell's America. We can look at his beloved Nebraska through the eyes of those who faced the extreme conditions of plains life. The wry and often outrageous stories, poetry and songs bring us back to a simpler but not easier day. Roger reminds us that the American spirit is strong and resilient as well as creative. Thank you Roger for taking the time to be pleasant.
