"In nine captivating short stories\, RS Deeren artfully illust rates the often brutal realities of hard-up Michiganders spinning their ti res in the mud of tradition\; some find a version of what they call succes s\, some get out\, and many just run out of gas. Enough to lose reveals ho w a region resistant to change and outside intervention struggles to adapt as small family farms are transformed into corporate enterprises\, politi cs turn neighbor against neighbor\, and hardworking families fight for sur vival. This glimpse into the rural Midwest shows that even through grief a nd trouble\, we can still find moments of beauty\, humor\, and resilience"
