Home to a few hundred people yet absent from state maps, Words, Wisconsin, comes richly to life by way of an extraordinary cast of characters. Among them, a middle-aged couple guards the family farm from the mendacious schemes of their milk co-operative; a lifelong paraplegic suddenly regains the use of her legs, only to find herself crippled by fury at her sister and caretaker; a woman of conflicting impulses and pastor of the local Friends church stumbles upon an enlightenment she never expected; a cantankerous retiree discovers a cougar living in his haymow, haunting him like a childhood memory; and a former drifter forever alters the ties that bind a community together." --milkweed.org 586 $a Milkweed National Fiction Prize 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a City and town life $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Wisconsin $v Fiction. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203014256.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20220401012502.0 952 $l EJPD605 $d 20180720151149.0 952 $l RAPD371 $d 20110802035648.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E089D52A40BF11DF814D4D3DA8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
