ABOUT THE BOOK
A collection of stories set in Lake Wobegon taken from monologues
performed on A Prairie Home Companion.
Leave-taking or homecoming events: trips to Minneapolis, high school
graduations, attending the Minnesota State Fair, a boy joining the army, Father
Emil retiring from Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility are commonplace and
humorous.
