New novel from
truck stop operator
Next time you visit Shoemak-
er's Truck Stop in Lincoln, Neb.,
put a shoutout to Karen Gettert
Shoemaker, co-owner and -op-
erator with her husband. She's
also the author of a new novel,
"The Meaning of Names,"
that explores the reality that
confronted U.S. German-Ameri-
can communities – in this case,
Nebraska – following World
War I's outbreak. Reviewer Erin-Seaward-Hiatt
called Shoemaker's book "delightfully rich …
historical fiction of the Plains and a tapestry of
human emotion."
Shoemaker also published "Night Sounds
and Other Stories" in 2002. She also serves as
a mentor with the University of Nebraska's
Creative Writing program.
