About Evolving Iowa: Two households, both alike in dignity… Deep in the heart of “flyover country,” young lovers come together, but their relationship threatens to rip apart their families and community. Sarah and Gabe are schoolmates, but they might as well have come from different worlds. When they find each other, they also find an explosive clash of generations, of religious views, and of social values. “Evolving Iowa” explores the turmoil that hides beneath the surface of politeness in the land of casseroles and pheasant hunting. Will love triumph, or will fear and tradition lead to tragedy?
