Short Summary

Angelina has come to Kansas to finish her dissertation on Carnegie libraries; Traci is artist-in-residence at the arts center; and Gayle is a tornado survivor. They are inspired by their foremothers who built 59 Carnegie libraries in Kansas a century ago. They, in turn, create a new cultural center.
