A Guide to Midwestern Conversation Book

If your evenings end with a slap of the knees and a long goodbye at the door, you already speak the language. This affectionate guide translates the most common Midwestern phrases, and what they really mean beneath all that politeness, from "I didn't really care for it" to the true definition of a short drive.

Written by a born-and-bred Midwesterner and filled with bright illustrations, it's a warm, funny look at a region known for its kindness and its very particular way of saying no.

A perfect gift for anyone who has ever said "ope" in a grocery store aisle.
