An Iowan and a coastal elitist walk into a bar...and, spoiler, they're both me.
I write about community, connection, and magical moments in rural Iowa, which I'm rediscovering after two decades in San Francisco. I'm also working on my eighth novel.
Sarah is a native small-town Iowan who ended up with a big life in the tech world, and now travels between them. As she says, "it's as hard to explain Iowa to San Francisco as it is to explain San Franciso to Iowa." Great writing.
