Scenes from the Heartland

by Donna Baier Stein

[Molly J(Cover To Cover Cafe)]

Who is Thomas Hart Benton? Someone I've never heard of for sure. But, I knew who he was when I was finished with this cleverly written book! He was an artist that took everyday people he saw in history and created images for them. Donna Baeir Stein is an author who took some of his Lithographs, and created her stories for them.

Each of the stories is created beautifully. The image of each story is portrayed in detail within the story that Baier Stein created, and as I sat reading each one, I was transported to a different time and place. That's skill, if you ask me! I loved reading each one and watching the images dance in my head. Her story telling ability is on point with this book.

Donna Baier Stein is truly talented. The way she created this book was refreshing. I definitely am getting copies of this book to share with friends and family! It's an interesting read and definitely captivating. If you want a 5 star read from an author who truly and beautifully uses a masterful skill to create imaginative stories around them, then look no further! I will definitely be checking out more of Baier Stein's work in the furture!
