"Wood's wide-ranging narrative, which also examines the diverse rural interests and activities of Wes Jackson, Bill Kurtis, Ted Turner, and others, is an informative, enjoyable, and often thought-provoking read."--South Dakota History
"What shines through in the human narratives is how the sense of belonging to small communities fulfills and enriches the lives of those who accept the challenges it imposes."--Kansas History
"Wood demonstrates that there are many small success stories in rural America if one wants to find them."--Annals of Iowa
"This book is a compact treatise for understanding the causes of rural decline and ways to overcome it. It is an important look at an overwhelming problem not only in the Great Plains but throughout much of the world."--Nebraska History
"A fine book. . . . worth reading. Instead of deploring their fate, many small towns are making considerable efforts to survive."--Manhattan Mercury
"Setting out to find a rural America in decline, Richard Wood found instead a much more complex picture. He found a rural America that is neither fatalistic nor defeatist, places with much to offer those who live there."--David Danbom, author of "Born in the Country": A History of Rural America
"Wood's book is about more than Kansas. It's about community, lifestyle, and the very roots of America."--Jane Kolodinsky, codirector, Center for Rural Studies, University of Vermont
"Gives a unique look at rural communities and the internal and external conditions they confront, with humor, insight, and wisdom. I really like this book and think everyone should read it."--Cornelia Butler Flora, director, North Central Regional Center for Rural Development
