Story City Stories

Marjorie Hart's best selling memoir Summer at Tiffany (2009) concludes as Marjorie and University of Iowa roommate Marty prepare to return home to Iowa from their adventurous summer of 1945 in New York City. Story City Stories opens with their departure on a train and the difficult decisions Marjorie faces ahead. Through vivid storytelling and first hand experiences, Marjorie looks back on her childhood in the humble, yet dynamic town of Story City, Iowa in the 1920s and 30s. Organized in four seasons, Story City comes to life with characters molded by rich family relationships, Norwegian culture and values, historical events and opportunities that extend both reader and Marjorie beyond the town's beloved Main Street.
