Prarie Postcards

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Minnesota, 1925. One radio song, one missing soldier, and three dollars short of a train ticket—welcome to Clara Johansen’s roaring-prairie revolution.

Nineteen-year-old CJ pours “giggle water” for prohibition-bucking farmers by night and pens secret advice columns by dawn, all while dreaming of Minneapolis newsrooms and jazz-club freedom. When a crackling trumpet solo spills from the tavern’s brand-new Marconi set, CJ teams up with war-scarred mechanic Eli Carlson for a madcap road trip toward the city—and straight into speakeasy singers, trench ghosts, and newsroom glass ceilings. But the discovery of an amnesiac doughboy who may be her long-lost schoolmate yanks CJ into the biggest story of her life.

From wheat-field sunsets to carbon-microphone spotlights, Prarie Postcards is a sparkling tale of flapper-era grit, girl-powered journalism, and the dizzy art of chasing every horizon without losing the one that raised you. Perfect for fans of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and The Paris Library—with a dash of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel swagger—CJ’s story will have you shouting “Skål!” and flipping to page one all over again.
