Reviews
Here are the voices of Hoosiers, in all their whimsy, seriousness, and variety. Memories of tearing down a barn, a whiffle ball championship, a WPA outhouse mix with dozens of others to reflect a sense of place. Newcomers as well as eighth-generation Hoosiers will smile, nod, and contemplate the oft-asked question, 'What's a Hoosier?' James H. Madison, author of Hoosiers: A New History of Indiana
Through many voices telling their very personal stories, we feel the spirit of our common Hoosier experience. It is a warm and affirming read. I feel as if I have had a tour again of our beloved state.Bravo! Judy O'Bannon, former First Lady
The quirky storytelling gives Undeniably a homespun flavor as the writers ruminate on John Mellencamp's rocking reflections of days when dancin' meant everything, Theodore Dreiser's Hoosier Holiday, outhouses, drive-ins and my favorite, the Thorntown gorilla. * Tribune Star *
