Dispatches from Kansas

Ex-urbanite Tom Parker's award-winning weekly newspaper column, The Way Home, explores the natural world and rural Kansas and his place in it-an evolving process involving hit bugs, prescient store clerks, daredevil rodents, divine beetles, malevolent weather, failed quests, and the tribulations of living in a century-old house. Along the way he explains the true nature of women, the character of the months, and how sometimes not finding a sought-after bird can be better than finding it.Besides learning to see the little things of this world, readers follow Parker down the dark road into depression, and beyond.Parker, Tom is the author of 'Dispatches from Kansas ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781419613685 and ISBN 1419613685.
