After falling headlong into a passionate affair during a semester spent teaching in Ohio, Phillipa returns home to Iowa for her daughter Ginnys wedding. There, Phillipa must endure (among other things) a wedding-day tornado, a menace of a mother-in-law who may or may not have been a Nazi collaborator, and the tragicomic revenge fantasies of her heretofore docile husband.Naturally, she does what any newly liberated woman would do: she takes a match to her life on the prairie and then steps back to survey the wreckage.Set in the seething political climate of a contentious election,Thisbe Nissen's new novel is sexy, smart, and razor-sharp-a freight train barreling through the heart of the land and the land of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67985422156064,"sku":"NEW1328662071","price":9.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71y0psT4G9L.jpg?v=1793007269","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/our-lady-of-the-prairie-1328662071","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
