Midwest Connection Picks
The Jesus Cow
a novel by Michael Perry
We’re always happy when a new book by Michael Perry (Coop, Truck, Population 485) is released! The Jesus Cow is fiction set in rural Wisconsin, territory familiar to those who have read other books by Perry.
Life is suddenly full of drama for low-key Harley Jackson: A woman in a big red pickup has stolen his bachelor’s heart, a Hummer-driving predatory developer is threatening to pave the last vestiges of his family farm, and inside his barn is a calf bearing the image of Jesus Christ. Harley would like to keep the word about the calf quiet, but the secret not only gets out—it goes viral. Soon, Harley has more attention—and trouble—
than he’s ever dreamed possible.
As always with Michael Perry, the writing is great and the story is humorous, touching, and thought provoking.
New Prairie Kitchen: Stories and Seasonal Recipes from Chefs, Farmers, and Artisans of the Great Plainsa cookbook by Summer Miller.
Summer has given us such a gift with her book New Prairie Kitchen! The beautiful prose, touching stories of the Great Plains, and incredible photography are reward enough. And then come the recipes! Mouthwatering, interesting, soul quenching dishes that are sure to become favorites in every kitchen. This is more than a cookbook—it's a love letter to the heartland.
Wherever You Go

We have this book on our graduation display AND with the pictures books. As an inspiring and beautiful celebration of life and new experiences, it’s perfect for both displays!
