9781492663799: The Lost Queen of Crocker County: A Novel

For fans of books like THE READERS OF BROKEN WHEEL RECOMMEND, a feel-good story of going home again to get things right.

Crocker County crowns a new Corn Queen every year, but Jane Willow's the one you would remember. She can't forget Iowa, either. Even though she fled to LA to become a film critic years ago, home was always there behind her.

But when a family tragedy happens, she's forced to drive back to Crocker County. The rolling farmlands can't much hide the things she left behind: the best friend she abandoned who now runs a meatloaf hotline, the childhood front porch that sits hauntingly empty, and that fiasco of a Corn Fest that spun her life in a different direction.

Before Jane can escape her past a second time, disaster strikes, and she will have to find a way to right her mistakes and save herself from her regrets. An unflinchingly love letter to the Midwest that unfolds through a celebration of movies, this ferociously endearing novel brings home the saving grace of second chances.

About the Author:
Elizabeth Leiknes grew up in rural Iowa and can make thirty-seven dishes featuring corn.

She lives with her husband and two children near Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Review:
"This heartwarming redemptive novel proves that you can indeed "go home again." ... What a charmer this book is! Highly recommended for female reading groups." - Nancy Simpson-Brice, Book Vault (Oskaloosa, IA)

"Elizabeth Leiknes writes her heroine with a wistful authority. The Lost Queen of Crocker County is a tale of the tenacity it takes to search one's soul and find forgiveness there – and of the kind of grace that can only be found in your hometown." - Caroline Angell, author of All the Time in the World

"An unexpected modern fairy tale that will leave your head spinning." - Kaela Coble, author of Friends and Other Liars

"Leiknes' latest (after 2017's Black-Eyed Susan) takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride, near tears at one moment and laughing out loud the next. Jane is a wisecracking character who grows emotionally over the course of the novel. A fairly open ending leaves room for a possible sequel. Recommended for fans of Jojo Moyes and Carol Rifka Brunt" - Booklist
