Reviews for "Heartland"
“Heartland embraces the mundane, everyday things that make us laugh, weep or pound the table in frustration.”
— Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator, best-selling series Chicken Soup for the Soul®
“If The Great Plains Reader offers a multifaceted take of the nation’s interior, Chartrand’s book constitutes the perspective of the lone voice. He is especially gifted when it comes to seeing into the sometimes funny, sometimes wrenching world of family life.”
— The Kansas City Star
“You’ll cherish this book and its celebration of the extraordinary character of Midwesterners working, worshipping and raising families.”
— Booksense
“David Chartrand writes about things that real people talk about over the dining room table.”
— John H. Walker, publisher, The Thomasville (NC) Times
"I just loved it. I had one of those experiences where it was such a satisfying read, that I closed the book, my lungs filled with good clean air, and I fell asleep."
— Chris Corcoran, Senior Manager, Public Relations & Community Affairs
Weight Watchers International, Inc."[Chartrand] writes things you wish you would or could have said
to your parents and kids. His sense of humor comes through wonderfully and
will make you read passages aloud to your spouse, so as to explain why
you're laughing out loud late at night and not sleeping."— Dan Simon, editor, The Olathe (Kansas) News
