Heart Land: Love and Loss in the Heart of America

She is home to Great Plains and even greater rivers, shining towns and people of soul. Her winters are ice-chest bitter, her summers alive with thunder and twisters. Deserts and dust-devils, cottonwoods and corn fields all sing the harmonies of gospel, the melodies of country and the rhythm of the blues, in this church of love and loss. Hers is a bright light slowly fading. She is America’s Heartland. These are her stories.

Heart Land is DB Allen’s first full length novel – a novel of inter-connected stories spanning generations, all set in the American Midwest.
The paperback (available late 2014) will include eight pencil drawings by the author – one for each story.
DB Allen writes contemporary stories about human relationships in our complex modern world. DB is passionate about characters and spirit, as well as landscape and the way our environment helps define who we are.
