Oklahoma Is Where I Live: And Other Things on My Mind Gary D Conrad

Oklahoma Is Where I live: and Other Things on My Mind is an autobiographical collection of short stories, mostly nonfiction, from the author of the award-winning visionary fiction novel, The Lhasa Trilogy.

Storytelling is an Oklahoma tradition, dating back to a Native American past. Like any true Okie, it is in Gary Conrad's roots to tell his story the ups, the downs, the in betweens.

Gary Conrad says that each and every one of us has a book buried inside ourselves about precious, sacred moments in our lives. His fondest hope is that Oklahoma Is Where I Live will help you to recall stories of your own -- ones, if you so wish, you can share with others.

Travel with Conrad into times of laughter, tears, success, failure and moments that challenged him to the very core of his being.
