This book was a delightful reflection on what it means to be an American, especially one who enjoys the incredible nature we have in our country. Nick Offerman offers thoughtful commentary on the state of the US, interspersed with funny anecdotes. I loved this book so much!!!

This book is easily going to be one of my top 5 for the year. At times it was funny, heart-breaking, and informative all while keeping in an accessible format. The story is one of a woman so strong and resilient - I am so inspired by her and honored to have met her at her Wee Bookshops. This is a book for book lovers, and a story that rings true for women. An absolute joy to read, this will be a book I treasure for the rest of my life. I can’t wait to recommend it to anyone and everyone who will listen.
