The Plain Sense of Things Paperback / softback
by Pamela Carter Joern
Part of the Flyover Fiction series
Paperback / softback
Description
In prose as clean and beautiful as the stark prairie setting, The Plain Sense of Things tells the stories of three generations of a western Nebraska family.
These tales of sorrow and hope are connected by the sinews of need and flawed love that keep families together.
A farm wife struggles to support her children after the death of her second husband; a young woman grapples with the shift from girlhood to motherhood; World War II wreaks havoc on those left behind; and a failing farmstead breaks a family’s heart.
Amid hardship and change, these interwoven stories illuminate the resilience and dignity—and the subtle sweetness—of a life lived in clear view of the plain sense of things.
