After crying in my classroom (and in my car and on the drive home) I desperately needed a book that would bring some metaphorical sunlight my way. The Lager Queen of Minnesota was just the book. Full of strong female characters who work hard and still have the time to support others! This book serves as a reminder of what people can be.  Stradal is able to write an inspiring narrative while not shying away from the hurt of everyday life and the tragedies that many of us face.
