Books with title Prairie dog

A young family relocates to a bucolic small town in search of an idyllic future. The fictional Pleasant Prairie instead is a harbor for all too common human faults- greed, lust for power, inequality, discrimination- underneath the veneer of the Hopewell College community, we find characters that exhibit both good, bad, and indifferent attitudes. The story cleverly weaves historical events from the Vietnam War, through the first Gulf War, with issues of morality that are ever contemporaneous.

Like water on parched ground, Mae Dean's happiness dries up when her father announces the family is headed west for a new life on the Texas Panhandle. Her brothers are excited about the move, but Mae Dean doesn't want to leave home and make a new one literally out of the ground. In a poignant confrontation, she lashes out at her father, and he comforts her with gentle words of reassurance. Colorful linoleum-cut block prints illustrate the story.
