All of her books speak to that American attitude about poor states. She actually lives in St. Louis. I bet The View From Flyover Country gets even more specific.
I think we are all guilty of the false pride we have about where we live and how it is better than where other people live.
I'm sorry for your suffering, I live in NE and fear every time it rains anymore.
