Book Description
""No Blood in the Turnip gives the reader insights of codependency and what it does to the family structure. The story is an eye-opener especially for the African American community. Maple found many that have never heard the word "codependent." Her story is a mirror for so many. It exposes the cycle of destructive home environments that leads to bad choices which can eventually lead to incarceration. The prisons are overcrowded with young black men mostly because they are products of dysfunctional home environments. This story shows how the cycle of negative behaviors passes from one generation to the next. It tells how Maple failed her two sons by exposing them to an unhealthy home environment by staying in a destructive marriage for twenty-three years. Maple realizes that she can't change the past, but hopes that telling her story will help others realize that our children learn by our examples. The title No Blood in the Turnip came from an old adage passed on by Maple's grandmother. It is a derivative of "You can't get blood from a turnip."" --transcribed from back cover

Book Description
A history of a quintessentially American place--the rural and small town heartland--that uncovers deep yet hidden currents of connection with the world. When Kristin L. Hoganson arrived in Champaign, Illinois, after teaching at Harvard, studying at Yale, and living in the D.C. metro area with various stints overseas, she expected to find her new home, well, isolated. Even provincial. After all, she had landed in the American heartland, a place where the nation's identity exists in its pristine form. Or so we have been taught to believe. Struck by the gap between reputation and reality, she determined to get to the bottom of history and myth. The deeper she dug into the making of the modern heartland, the wider her story became as she realized that she'd uncovered an unheralded crossroads of people, commerce, and ideas. But the really interesting thing, Hoganson found, was that over the course of American history, even as the region's connections with the rest of the planet became increasingly dense and intricate, the idea of the rural Midwest as a steadfast heartland became a stronger and more stubbornly immovable myth. In enshrining a symbolic heart, the American people have repressed the kinds of stories that Hoganson tells, of sweeping breadth and depth and soul. In The Heartland, Kristin L. Hoganson drills deep into the center of the country, only to find a global story in the resulting core sample. Deftly navigating the disconnect between history and myth, she tracks both the backstory of this region and the evolution of the idea of an unalloyed heart at the center of the land. A provocative and highly original work of historical scholarship, The Heartland speaks volumes about pressing preoccupations, among them identity and community, immigration and trade, and security and global power. And food. To read it is to be inoculated against using the word "heartland" unironically ever again.
