Helpful Score: 3
This is the story of a young Kansas girl who lives in the middle of nowhere, but also in the center of the United States (hence the title) in the Reagan years. She and her single, immature mother live in poverty, and their situation only gets worse as the book progresses. In spite of these grim details, this is an uplifting coming of age tale, with a smart and unforgettable heroine, Evelyn, telling her story. One of the best books I ever read.
