Summary:
"These nine humorous stories, set in and around Kansas City, Kansas, from the 1950s to the early 21st century, often depict caring adults mentoring awkward but talented young people, whether in a community garden, a library, or in one-on-one advice. Other characters feel like outsiders in their own neighborhoods or become outsiders when visiting unfamiliar places in town"-- Provided by publisher.
