Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas

My Tuesday Book Discussion Group talked about Tallgrass today. Thumbs up from everyone. What failings there were in the story were forgivable and minor in the general scheme of things. What we liked was the story, the plot, the characters, the mystery, most of the sappy touching stuff, and the human scale of the story.

Some scenes resonate Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird, such as the father facing down a lynch mob with the aid of his wife. The story served as a springboard to discuss prejudice, the War, small town life, the difference between growing up 'country' or 'city,' and how some of us are offered the rare opportunity to act above ourselves in aid of the oppressed.
