Ohio River Valley Girl: The Retro, Neurodivergent Kiss-and-Tell Nobody Asked For
Lori Cates Hand50 years ago in a weird little Indiana city...
Hop in your DeLorean and visit a time with no internet, no phones, and no existential dread. Your Hoosier homegirl weaves a tale of growing up neuro-spicy and music-obsessed in a unique midsized city on the Ohio River in the 1970s and '80s. From the arrival of her ancestors in the 19th century to her own exodus from Evansville in 1990, come along for a joyride of indelible memories recounted in meticulous detail, drawing from journals, letters, and a wide range of emotionally loaded pop music. Part oral history, part memoir, and part Gen-X manifesto, this collection of life stories shows what it was like to be a brainy, curious, anxious, sensitive, perfectionist, ambitious, boy-crazy girl in a changing world.
