Prairie Hill starts with the arrival of a young stranger who arrives to wash dishes and get away from his past. From that point on the reader meets the townspeople and falls in love with them. The characters do seem to revolve around the restaurant/hotel that is owned by the same man who owns the minor league baseball stadium. The town is about to lose the baseball team to another city and a virgin prairie is about to be destroyed to put up a shopping mall. The story is told from the point of view of each the characters, and it really flows well from one narration to another. I was really absorbed by this book. The characters were wonderful and believable. Don't be turned off by the mention of baseball. I don't like baseball at all, but I really enjoyed this book. Highly recommended!
