Praise for Kansas GenExistential

“Are you ready for a hilarious and insightful journey through the life of a GenXer in the Midwest? Look no further than Amber Fraley's collection of essays, Kansas Genexistential– Essays from the Heartland.

With her witty and irreverent writing style, Fraley shares stories about everything from experimenting with homemade hemp-smoking methods in college to navigating midlife as a GenXer.

You'll laugh out loud as she describes the odd characters she's encountered throughout her life and how she's learned about social justice over time. But it's not all laughs - Fraley also delves into serious topics like reproductive justice and menopause with a refreshing mix of humor and compassion.”
