Melanie Hoffert longs for her rural North Dakota home with its grain trucks and empty main streets. But like many, she followed the out-migration pattern to a more urban life. When she returns home during harvest to confront the silences that have kept her at arm’s length from her childhood community, she finds it’s not easy. When asked if she's found a “fella,” rather than explain that she dates women, she stops breathing and changes the subject.

I really appreciate the author’s way with words. The realizations she comes to as she tries to understand how who she is and where she comes from can be parts of herself that exist concurrently are captivating. Anyone who has lived in a small town will “get it.” Those who have farmed will “really get it.” I enjoyed her journey and learned some things about myself along the way.
