Growing up in Nebraska, the Land of Flat Water, was not easy for the young Laurel Rockefeller. Facing first horrific domestic violence followed by a crushing car accident and traumatic brain injury, the chaos of growing up in Lincoln was ultimately calmed by embracing Evangelical Christianity in her teen years.

Divided into three parts, this poetry book explores Laurel's relationship with Nebraska, centering on her writings from ages 8 through 28. "Land of Flat Water" takes you through Laurel's triumphs and hardships, through the best of times and worst, to tell the story of a simple girl from Nebraska gifted with music, poetry, and a love for her feathered friends.

A celebration of Nebraska and its enduring impact on one life.
