This is a book of short vignettes based on the author's experiences growing up in the state of Nebraska. Said writings are provided in an attempt to shed some light on a state about which little is often known except for a few vague generalities.

"I am from a fly-over state, a great plains state, one of those arbitrary shapes that exist in the middle of this country, someplace between this and that. Such a point of origin is not quite expected. When I tell someone that I am from Nebraska, they often say, 'Oh,' and pause to think. 'Nebraska. Now where is that again?' they might eventually ask."
