Rising Stars and Ozark Constellations is a must to read. Author, Vicki Cox, is a talented free lancer who takes you on a journey through the Show-me state and stops to chat with the most interesting people. Their life styles, hobbies, unusual professions, and successes, connect and become shining stars of the Ozark Plateau. I'm proud to be one of those stars. Look for the Firecracker Lady on page 152. I'll be waiting for you!
