Synopsis
The Nebraskan town of North Platte, now dotted with stripmalls and fast food restaurants, lies on the rail line where, sixty years ago, American soldiers preparing to head off to World War II would stop. The hospitality they received there was a homegrown sort, volunteered by the citizens of North Platte and topped off with hot coffee. Chicago Tribune columnist Green takes a look back at what made North Platte such an exceptional town.

Industry Reviews
"In a literature overflowing with melodramatic, and often overblown, accounts...this pleasingly modest and meaningful account of life on the homefront deserves the widest audience."
Kirkus Reviews (04/15/2002)
"Greene's journalism turns up wonderful reflections...making for a poignant glimpse into a historical moment rapidly fading from memory."
Bloomsbury Review - Amanda Bailey
