Step into the gravel roads, county fairs, kitchen tables, and church pews of small-town Missouri with this heartfelt, humorous, and downright human collection of stories. Whether you were raised with dirt under your fingernails or just wish you had been, Welts on Your Butt a Calf Could Suck is a front-row seat to the joys, missteps, and memories that make a life well-lived.
From racing pigs to the magic of a Ferris wheel ride with Grandma, to the sacred art of snow shoveling with grandsons—these are the moments that shape us. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll remind you of your own.
Perfect for readers who:
- Grew up rural or wish they had
- Still believe in the power of a handshake
- Know that stories are best when they come with laughter (and possibly gravy)
This debut collection is a love letter to the Midwest, to generations who came before us, and to the kind of storytelling that sticks with you long after the final page.
