Sociologist turned authors, Maria Kefalas and Patrick Carr, present the phenomenon of 'rural brain drain' in a language that we can actually understand. They tell a story. The story is not fiction. It's the true depiction of a "hollowing out" of Middle America.
As you read this powerful book, an image of our heartland will come to life. A massive youth exodus from rural communities to urban cities has created a web of issues that should concern us all.
Check this book out and discover ways that we can reverse the 'brain drain' and create a 'brain gain'! Kefalas and Carr challenge us to take our heads out of the sand and address this serious trend with urgency.
