You should enjoy Kent Haruf’s Plainsong, Harper Collins, 1999, if you love country people and their simple stories. To me, all types of people have their common simplicity and Kent Haruf uses the people of a Colorado small town to illustrate this. He shows us cattle ranchers, school teachers and teenagers who are beset with the same problems of growing old, of growing up and of finding love that we all face. His treatment of the characters and their answers to their everyday problems gave me a lot of inspiration. Try his book. You may find more than you are looking for.
