"Having grown up in Orange City, Iowa, Carol Van Klompenburg is a child of the plains and the descendant of sturdy, small-town Dutch folk. From reminiscing about her Addink and Kiel grandparents through recounting her still-present hoarder heritage, she tells her story with humor and poignancy. She guides readers through her parents' World War II romance, her tears in a principal's office, her terror seeing her first-ever movie at age sixteen, and her experiencing Sioux City, Iowa, as if it were on another planet."--Back cover.
