- Synopsis
- Fresh stories by award-winning writer Will Weaver complement selected favorites from his original collection, 'A Gravestone Made of Wheat', to offer a vivid portrait of swirling, intergenerational changes in the Midwest. New highlights include "Blaze of Glory," a poignant tale of an RV road trip and a senior couple's "last time"; "Haircut," in which a young boy and his beloved grandfather struggle to communicate across a great cultural divide; and "The Last Farmer," the capstone story of a high-tech farmer's dilemma with history and an old house on his land. Twelve stories in all portray the yearnings of the human spirit and the transformation of America's heartland.
