From the Land of Too Little or Too Much - Paperback

by Robert Cory (Author)

From the Land of Too Little or Too Much is a meld of fact, fantasy, and Americana. Seasoned with uplifting, subtly optimistic tones and unconventional humor, we learn the struggle of the young is real and pervasive, whether in the Flint Hills of Kansas or a cosmopolis. With rural middle America as a backdrop, the novel recounts the protagonist's transition from a typical post-adolescent plodding through life to a purposeful young adult. The novel chronicles circumstances and events that mold Jake's character: social and political issues of his day (civil unrest, racism, bullying, war, illness, substance abuse), life experiences shared by others around him, his environment, and those forces beyond his control. Flashbacks of characters' remembrances and historical perspectives of actual events also contribute to the mix. If you fancy reading a good story, you will like From the Land. Promise.
