"LOADS OF SEMI-TRUTHS" is a collection of humorous and thought-provoking short stories about life on the farm, written by an Iowa farm wife and mother--dare to say, an Iowa farmer herself. Her true stories will make you laugh or cry, and might even just make you think. Karen Schwaller is a masterful storyteller no matter the subject, and her writings are commanded by the right mix between the head and the heart. She keeps her stories real, telling tales of the farm that might seem common, but that (if you live on the farm) will leave you relating to her every word. And if you don't live on the farm, sit back and prepare to be introduced to some of the things farm families do and the times they endure. You will not soon forget some of her stories, written to inspire and entertain. Her stories shoot right to the heart.
