Wonderful stories of growing up and or being transplanted in Kansas! The essays are some of history, kindness, patriotism, storms and beautiful landscapes. All stories of how this state gets in your system and you are proud to call it home. Kansas is a state of innovation, pioneers and writers who capture all of those things. Thank you for this trip into the hearts of Kansans!

This book was a profound player in the way I learned to perceive people of color. Thanks to the tutelage of Mrs. Owens my 5th-grade teacher. Harriet Beecher Stowe's compassion, dedication, and the ability to move others with this beautiful heart rendering story were paramount in shaping my belief that all people are God's children.
