Fiction
Meghan Daum’s unforgettable debut novel brings her sharp
wit and courageous social commentary to the story of
Lucinda Trout, a New York television reporter in search of
greener pastures. Moving to the slower- paced, friendly,
and vastly more affordable Midwestern town of Prairie City,
Lucinda zealously creates a series of televised reports for
her New York audience about her newfound quality of life.
But when Lucinda falls for eccentric local Mason Clay, her
naïveté about the real world leads her down an unexpected
path, where she encounters, among other things, a drafty
old farmhouse filled with children, an ever-growing
menagerie of farm animals, and the harshest winter the
region has seen in twenty years. In other words, simplicity
just isn’t as simple as it is cracked up to be,
and "quality of life," Lucinda learns, is much more
complicated than she ever imagined.
