After authoring and co-authoring over three dozen books, critically acclaimed writer-photographer Douglas Keister looks back at his childhood years growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska in the 1950s.

Keister was the middle child growing up in the middle of the century in the middle of the country. Heart-Land: Growing up in the middle of everything, is a magical blend of humor, insightfulness and heartfelt memories. The stories range from laugh-out-loud funny to rueful recognition of the pains of growing up.

All of them are full of heart, and never fail to entertain.
