She is home to Great Plains and even greater rivers, shining towns and people of soul. Her winters are ice-chest bitter, her summers alive with thunder and twisters. Deserts and dust-devils, cottonwoods and corn fields all sing the harmonies of gospel, the melodies of country and the rhythm of the blues, in this church of love and loss. Hers is a bright light slowly fading. She is America's Heartland. These are her stories. Heart Land is DB Allen's first full length novel - a novel of inter-connected stories spanning generations, all set in the American Midwest. This book includes eight magnificent pencil drawings by the author - one for each story - and will make a precious gift for a special someone who's the Heart Land of your life.
