Stories from the Heartland to the Pacific (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999742501)

BORN AND RAISED IN THE HEART OF IOWA, Judy Vasos

built a life that eventually led her across the country to the

Pacific shores of Oakland, California. In her poignant memoir,

Stories from the Heartland to the Pacific, she invites you on a

journey through the landscapes of her past and present.

With a keen eye for the humorous and the heartbreaking,

Vasos shares a tapestry of short stories that capture the essence

of everyday life. From the vivid memories of a Midwestern

childhood and the ache of first love, to the profound influence

of her grandfather, a mother's silent struggles with depression,

and the stark reality of a cancer diagnosis, she navigates the

human experience with a captivating blend of wit and warmth.

Readers will find themselves drawn into the author's world,

where even the simplest moments are rich with meaning. With

a style reminiscent of Elizabeth Strout, these slice-of-life observations

will resonate long after the final page is turned.
