I grew up in Liberal, Kansas - the home town of Dorothy Gale from the Wizard of Oz. Looking out at the world from those dusty plains, the bright glow of an Emerald City seemed like only a dream. But I can attest that the city exists in all its sparkle, mystery and color. I’ve been there.

But in the end, when you’re born in the dust your fate is sealed. One end of the rainbow will always take you back home.
