Summary

In her acclaimed debut, M.J. Andersen chronicles her youth in South Dakota, and her longing for the landscape she left behind. Andersen introduces us to her family, which produces one of Plainvilles two competing weekly newspapers; to Minneapolis at Christmastime; and even to a local variety of alfalfa, to which her best friend has a surprising kinship. Andersen travels East for college and remains to begin a journalism career. She eventually settles into her first house which, though loved, somehow does not feel the way she had anticipated, until she arrives at a new idea of home by revisiting the place the prairie holds in her heart.

Author Biography

M.J. Andersen grew up in South Dakota and now lives in Massachusetts with her husband. She is a graduate of Princeton University and holds a master's degree from Brown University. A recent fellow in the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University, she writes for the editorial pages of the Providence Journal.
