In more than 100 perfectly pitched stories, Heynen displays his mastery of country wisdom, speech, and behavior as he reveals life in a Midwest where electricity is a magical novelty and cities a distant rumor. Indelibly American, these tales are of farmboys finding their way, contending with grown-ups, city kids, birth, death, rats, skunks, and even mean ponies | The One-room Schoolhouse by Jim Heynen, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
