A misfit in Spooner, Wisconsin, with its farms, bars, and strip joints, Debra Monroe leaves to earn a degree, then another, and another, and builds a career—if only because her plans to be a midwestern housewife continually get scuttled. Fearless butnaive, she vaults over class barriers but never quite leaves her past behind. When it comes to men, she’s still blue collar.
