Nebraska, 1959. Mazie has dreamed of being on Broadway since she could walk. When her grandmother dies and leaves her a letter and enough money for a six-week stay in New York City, Mazie jumps at the chance to follow her dream. New York City is a shock to the senses, and soon she's homesick for her family-- and for Jesse, the boyfriend whose heart she broke when she left. With her money running out, and faced with too many rejections to count, Mazie finally lands a role. But the tour is an industrial musical designed to sell farm equipment, and it brings Mazie right back to the cornbelt of her hometown she was all too eager to escape. -- adapted from jacket and Goodreads info
