Grasshopper Tales: Stories from North Dakota

This book is a collection of short stories all based in North Dakota and some with overlapping characters. The author was Margaret Lamb (known as Mimi) who lived most of her life in New York, but who never forgot her North Dakota upbringing. She was known as the storyteller in her family and that is apparent from this collection of stories. The one thing I can definitely say is that most of the stories left me wanting more...what happened next to these individuals? The topics vary from blizzards, droughts, grasshoppers, romance and homesteading.
