An introspective series of essays on gender, sexuality, nature, relationships,  and life in the Midwest,  this book is honest and raw. As a fellow Wisconsin native,  I recognize the deep connection to the earth, the stoic nature of the culture,  and the fish fries and potlucks that are much of life in communities across our state. The challenge of being different from the expectations in a small town,  and how that upbringing followed the author into larger, more liberal cities ties reflections on everything from guns, moths, to the choice to have children.
