...so many thoughtful stories and so many similar connections for those of us who have grown up in the Midwest. Will probably read it again to make sure I didn't miss anything.
A Great Christmas Gift

What a wonderful Christmas gift for my girlfriends who once lived in the Heartland and have since moved away to various parts of the US. So many stories in this book have similarities of what my life was like growing up in the Midwest. I highly recommend this book. You will love it.
This book is wonderful!

This book showed up on the "new books" table at the bookstore so I bought it. The cover is beautiful. I took it home and started reading it. I didn't get halfwaythrough it before I found myself crying. It reminded me of the things my own family has been through. The writing is so smooth and tender. Not sure who David Chartrand is, but I think this book may make him famous. AT least he's gonna be famous around my neibhorhood. -- ML
Made me life and cry

This book is a jewel. Challenging, entertaining; a feel good read. Chartrand is able to put into words what we all think and experience while growing up in America. I can't wait for his next book!
A View from the Heartland

I love this book! It made me laugh, it made me cry and made me feel every emotion in between. The stories happen in the "heartland" but people everywhere will be able to relate to this family. They are warm and caring and love each other unconditionally. The message of family love is timeless and transcends all boudaries.
