“a poignant exploration of identity and heritage set against the sweeping landscape of the American Midwest. The story follows Nancy Moore, a spirited young woman who returns to the small town of Maple City, Nebraska, to visit the elderly couple who raised her. As she navigates the familiar rhythms of prairie life, Nancy grapples with the mystery of her own origins, a secret long guarded by those she loves. Through her encounters with the steadfast Warner Field and the colorful inhabitants of the community, she begins to understand the deep-rooted connections between the land and its people.”
