Wisconsin is not where Alice, a girl raised in Florida, meant to
end up. But when she falls in love with Anders Dahl, a descendant
of Norwegian farmers born for generations in the same stone
farmhouse, she realizes that to love Anders is to settle into a
life in Wisconsin in the small house they buy before their
daughter, Maude, is born. Together, Alice and Anders move forward
into a life of family, friends, and the occasional troubled student
until they face their biggest challenge. Winner of the Prairie
Schooner Book Prize in Fiction, Jesse Lee Kercheval's "The Alice
Stories" tells the tale of a family: the pain of loss and the
importance of the love of friends in the midst of turmoil. As
timely as the news yet informed by rich humor and a deep
understanding of human character, the interlinked "Alice Stories"
form a luminous tale of family life.
