This collection of heart-warming short stories is a continuation of the award-winning series by the author's grandfather Ross Annett. The latter's Babe series, written during the Depression and after, was the longest running and most popular series in the history of the Saturday Evening Post magazine.

As the first of the popular prairie humorists, Ross Annett's stories centered on one family's struggle to survive and overcome the odds during the Dustbowl in central Alberta. The story's protagonist, a widower farmer named Joe, fights to hold on to his land and his two children, Little Joe and Babe, alongside the comic-relief character, his reprobate drunken Uncle Pete.

In Heaven on a Half Section, Ross Annett's grandson, Kevin Annett, continues the saga of this family during World War Two and beyond. In Kevin's words,

During these soul-trying days, it seemed like a good idea to revive that spirit and continue the tales of Big Joe and Babe and all the down-but-never-out characters from that Greatest Generation. I owe it to my Grandpa and Dad and all the others who have kept me in the fight, and to those who have stumbled and fallen along the way. May these tales help them get on their feet again and keep going, dust bowls be damned.

This is Kevin's twenty-sixth book and sixth work of fiction. His websites are www.murderbydecree.com and www.republicofkanata.org .
