Sedalia Chronicles: A Cycle of Hoosier Tales (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798454623555)

A journey back home for Hoosiers and other Flyover Country natives.

In Eileen's Café they're gossiping about the car in Mrs. Aubrey's driveway last night. At Big Iva's Truck Stop the parking lot girls stomp a randy trucker. Sheriff Tungate stops the great mole trap theft with mole trap amnesty. Local girl makes good in the Big Apple, but comes home anyway. Deputy Biggle gets his comeuppance while patrolling River Road to catch young parkers in the act. Big Iva and the town save Doc Quick from the IRS. An East Coast reporter comes to do a hit-job profile on the town and ends up staying. And busybodies conspire to match a young widow and a young widower.

Twenty stories of Sedalia, Indiana, seat of Howarth County, Indiana, not far north of the Ohio River. You won't find it on any map, but it lives in the hearts of Hoosiers everywhere. And in the hearts of all those who grew up in a small town.

"A humorous, charming collection of tales set in a Midwestern Town. . . .
As in Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio and subsequent works of
locality-based fiction, Johnson's book manages to simultaneously poke
fun and celebrate small-town American life." - Kirkus Reviews
