The Green and the Gold Bart Schaneman

The Green and the Gold is the story of a young man trying his damnedest to deal with the changing terrain of life. It's about the small town he grew up in, and the larger one he went off to for college. It is a very Midwestern book and because of that it is the most American kind of book. The Green and the Gold is a story of quiet winter days, frozen interstates, troubled love, work, fevers, sex, basement parties, horses, cattle, corn fields and soy fields, cowboys, college kids, and farm families.
