Reviews
We are all products of our environment and experiences, and Badger State, A Wisconsin Memoir is a beautiful recount of the author's experiences that have shaped the extraordinary person that she is today. Deeply relatable and a poignant illustration of the beauty and complexity of life and family. -- Kelly Grier, U.S. Chair and Managing Partner and Americas Managing Partner, Ernst & Young Badger State, A Wisconsin Memoir is an engaging, hilarious and moving glimpse into the childhood of a Midwestern Gen-Xer. Chock full of equally alarming and funny stories, it is a trip back to a place and time that would be unrecognizable to those not lucky enough to grow up in the Midwest in the 70s and 80s. -- Colleen Brennan, Comedian, Writer, Producer In a time where pervasive technology extinguishes the creative possibilities of boredom or the imaginative potential of losing yourself in a new city, Badger State, a Wisconsin Memoir reminds us of what life once was; when time was expansive and childhood full of adventure. It is a window into an incredible family story filled with love, danger, laughter and heartache. The author's memoir reminds us that life, for some kids in this great country, is tough. But that some - like the author herself - manage to not only survive but thrive. -- Pedro Guerrero, CEO, Guerrero Media
