Plot

From fishing and hunting stories to families gathering around a dinner table, this collection brings a wealth of insight into human foibles and transcendent grace. The stories present an entertaining cast of Midwestern small-town characters who are ordinary people wrestling with life's problems and difficulties. There are prices to pay and rewards to win, whether the protagonist is swimming in musky-infested lakes in the nude, facing the Great Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940, or chasing an aging rhino down a Wisconsin back road. These stories are full of wit, wisdom, and love.
